Daisy bunnies

Well I had a go with this sweet Penny Black stamp 'Daisy Bunnies'. I did it pretty much the same as the card I saw at the PaperCraft show. But I added some Flowersoft to the centres of the flowers and added a Stampin Up punched tiny tag and Stampin Up border punch. To be honest, the colours brown and pink are right out of my colour comfort zone, I'm really not a fan of that combo but I wanted to use the new colours by Stampin Up, Soft Suede and Melon Mambo - not gonna be putting them so closely together again. Next time I make this card, I'm planning different colours altogether.

I admire people who make such detailed cards but cutting up those daisies was a bit fiddly for my liking, though it was worth it in the end. I really like the pots with glossy accents, just think it really works well. And I had to layer the bunnies paws over the top of the pots to give them a 3D effect.

It has been such a beautiful weekend. REALLY GORGEOUS weather!!!!!!!!!!!! 27C - I was in sun heaven :). I've read a lot of blogs by people in the UK and everyone has mentioned the beautiful weather. That's because we don't get it that much and when we do it's so precious we appreciate it.

Look, even my fish are looking bright and cheerful ...

I watched two Kate Winslet films lately, 'The Reader' and 'Revolutionary Road'. I'm not a professional film reviewer but I'll give you a nutshell review anyway ... the first one was depressing, the second - miserable and depressing. End of review :)

Happy Monday and thanks for stopping by ...

The girl done good - love your bunny card! Great film reviewing, I hear there is a vacancy after Jonathan Ross leaves the Beeb... me thinks you should try out as his replacement hun! Jo x
