This week our hostess in Smantha and she wants us to repeat ourselves, I said ... She wants us to repeat ourselves! 

What she really means is repeat part of your project weather it is a hand drawn part or part of a stamp or the whole stamp! So with this in mind I got stamping and repeated my image 3 times! I used one of the new images just released and made this Christmas card....

IndigoBlu: Rustic Christmas Decoration

Here is a Rustic Christmas Decoration I made with IndigoBlu new Christmas stamps 

Here are. Few step by step photos to give you an idea of how I made this .... Full information can be found on the IndigoBlu blog.

A cheap wooden heart shape I covered in flitter glu then put in a bag with Mega Flakes and covered it 

Came out like this once I had given it a rub over with my scoochie

Then did some stamping with townhouse teal paint on the new icon stamps 

Then punch out and edge with flitter glue and add wire 

Attached to the heart, do this with all the icons.

Until you are happy with the balance

Stampotique Designers Challenge 208: Animal

When I was growing up I had a rabbit, then when my daughter, who's nickname was baby Bunny, was growing up she to had a rabbit Snow Bunny, so with this in mind I choose a bunny stamp by Kate for the challenge, and made a set of PL cards.

This is the fabulous stamp I used
