cardstock day3 and winner announced

Hello Friends, How are you today? I wanted to share my last card in my mini series of cardstock cards. Have you ever tried Simons cardstock?  Their paper is a 100# weight and it feels luxurious before you even look at the card because of the weight and body of the paper. The feathers were created with my leftover scraps of paper. (The paper was created out of cardstock that I glued together for "Day One here" & "Day Two here"). The stamp and sentiment you can find here. The postage stamp edge die cut created a simple window for the feathers... have you notice that  I use the die a LOT?

Did you see the blog hop for Simon? Did you see that you can win some cardstock and ink BEFORE it's released? Check out the post here.

I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO SHARE THE FULL COLLECTION OF THE NEW RELEASE during the hop so I thought I would here. You can purchase sets & the entire collection below or individually. Scroll down to see the card supply list and or the winner.

 Hello Friends, I am just so delighted to be hopping with the Mama Elephant & their EXTREMELY TALENTED Design Team!!! I had sooo much fun creating cards with the new & exciting release. These sweet and adorable bunnies kept me busy for hours...I just couldn't stop myself.

 When I think of bunnies I think of brown or white so I thought it would be fun to use spring colors for the little critters. After coloring with some Copic markers I added a little distress ink to the bunnies. For the heart cut out I used this die cut and this stencil.

 For this guy I cut the head off and turned it at an angle for that look puppies give you. For the rest of the supplies on my card you will find at the bottom of my post.

A closer look at the butterfly for my pin board. Check out this post to see the pin board.
