Lots of Girlfriends

Hi AI Fans!

I miss the spring, which is several weeks late here in Sweden. So I decided to use pastel colors which gives hope of spring and summer. Here are three cards with different Girlfriends stamp in lovely pastel colors.

The first is In theTub

Homemade flowers and a herat witch I cut of the botton an put it behind the stamp.

The  second card is with the NEW stamp kit At the Movie

Thr second card and third is 21.5 x 12 cm ( 8.5" x 4.7")
 This size is perfect for lots of Girlfriends stamp

And the third is with Girlfriends

Some more month and this is real :O)

Have a great Weekend!

Easter Wishes with Bunny frame

Hi AI Fans!

This cute scene is a great stamp  Bunny Frame.
This Motive is fine in it self, so I just put a bow in the corner.
I used two different sizes on the  letters, otherwise there would have been room for both words

Here I show how to make bows.

I made a ribbon tools of plastic. It should be as wide as you want the bow.  Here I found a plastic ruler that I cut a gash in. But it also goes well with a lid from a ice cream jar

Picture 1.Start to wrap  twice around  the ruler.

Picture 2. Stick the end of the ribbon thru the gash.

  

Picture 3. When you get the end of the ribbon again, make an ordinary knot

Picture 4. Now you have a finished bow. Take it off and correct it if it´s necessary.

Cut off the ends, depending on how long you want them and burn gently at them, then they do not fray.

Want to wish you all a very

Happy Easter!.
