Beary Good Birthday

My favourite Stamping Bella bear, Harry, has come out to play today, sending some special birthday wishes to a special friend.  I managed to somehow get some liquid pixie dust in the bottle that I wash my brushes in, so if you wonder why he's got glitter in his fur, that'll be why!

Christmas Bunnies

I've been playing with the soon-to-be-released Christmas bunnies from Lili of the Valley.
They're due out on 25th and the DT are giving some sneak peeks over the next week.  These two are called Christmas Cheers and Bunny and Robin. I've kept the designs really simple with some stripy backing papers matted onto sparkly gold card which frames both the image and the papers.  The images will be available on 25th July so you've not got too long to wait.
