Hoppy Easter!

Hi everyone and Happy Easter Monday!

Today is a very exciting day for me... I posted my first card as a Guest Design Team member for the StampShoppe on their blog!

Heidi, the owner of the StampShoppe had sent me the cute Tilda Holding a Lamb stamp, as well as some of the papers from Magnolia's new Hoppy Easter collection and some embellies.
The theme for this week is Spring Inspired/Pastel Colours, so of course I used the Tilda stamp and papers! I also used the little lamb of the Tilda as Shepherd stamp.... so cute!! I made the lambs look really cuddly and fuzzy, using Liquid Applique and Fun Flock. I've had these in my stack for years now, but never really used it... thought it would be perfect for the little lambs :o)! If you wanna give it a try... first apply the Liquid Applique, sprinkle with the Fun Flock and tap of excess. Then it's best to let it dry for a while. When (almost) dry, heat with a heat gun; it makes the Liquid Applique POP! Be careful not to burn it, just keep watching closely!

If you want to play along with this week's challenge for your chance of winning 15% off your next order and a mystery prize (Canadians only), hop over to the StampShoppe blog for official rules, here.

Here's my card for this week:
