New Home Bears (Lili of the Valley stamps)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I used some oh-so-cute bears from Lili of the Valley to create my new home card today. They come in a set of 3 called Posy Trio and they are each in a circle so this involved a little bit of cutting out and careful positioning in the window so it wasn't too obvious. I have a lovely brick embossing folder which I used and cute window and banner dies to add to the scene.

Time for Spring mixed media girly card (The Greeting Farm stamp)

Here's my second mixed media card where I blended green, orange and yellow inks in a circular fashion then lightly sprayed it with water.
