I don’t know about you but I’m starting to get that Summer feeling – I’m off to the Glastonbury Festival this week which is very exciting (although the weather forecast isn’t looking too summery right now).  Anyway, to brighten up your day here’s a card made with the Simon Says Stamp June card kit.  I used Ranger Dye inks and my MISTI to get a multi coloured rainbow on the stamp.  I then simply added a piece of the washi tape (also in the kit) and a few Doodlebug sprinkles for some extra texture.

Sprinkled With Love

Hey there!  I’m sharing another card today made with the scrummy Dinky Doughnuts set from Waltzing Mouse Stamps.  I have the great honour of guest designing for Claire at WMS this month and I’m having so much fun with these stamps!  I’ve kept this card fairly simple and just stamped a whole bunch of doughnuts with different coloured icing and chocolate sprinkles – YUM!

I love the Ranger dye inks – the colours are so vibrant and go together so well – I love ’em!!

Thank for stopping by x

You should have arrived here from the gorgeous blog of AJ Otto but if you’ve wandered in here and want to go back to the start of the blog hop then please scroll down for the full schedule.

I’m featuring the fabulously unique “Geek Love” stamp set today designed by my mega-talented teamie, JJ Bolton.  This is the most adorable set, I just love how you can change the look of the little peeps with different hair styles, clothes etc.  For my card I started with a piece of water-colour cardstock and used distress inks to create my background.  I die cut this using the Burst die and then used the pierced circles to create a frame.  I stamped, coloured (Copics) and fussy cut the boy and girl and speech bubbles and then assembled the card.
