I left a couple of cards on my desk on Monday morning... was supposed to take them to work and didn't pick them up... by the time I got home today the cats had so kindly chewed every available corner... not impressed... anyhow enough waffling... this is the replacement card l made using a stamp found in the depths of a draw .. tut tut

Tiptoeing Lily

Just thought I'd share this little card with you tonight that I made with my new Ladybug Crafts Inc Magnum stamp... I wasn't supposed to be buying these but I ordered some of the gorgeous felt from Kerry and they were half price in January so I couldn't resist adding a couple to my basket.....

Now if you haven't tried any of this felt it's amazing... cuts beautifully with the thin metal dies... and the colours are so amazing... looking forward to using my loopy bloom die with it...
