Good afternoon lovely peeps!

This week our challenge is -

Add A Die Cut!

The design team are featuring

Memory Box

On today's card I have chosen to feature Memory Box Just A Note Posh Script Craft Dies which I have paired with my new Simon Says Stamp Bitty Birdhouse die & my older, & frequently used Large Tag wafer die.

I have added an adorable bunny from Simon Says Stamps Hoppy Days Ahead clear stamps set which I have stamped using Ink On 3 Fadeout ink pad & coloured with my copics. I also stamped & coloured a floral border using some of the accessory stamps from the Hoppy Days Ahead stamps set.

I received my stamp set in my Simon Says Stamp March Kit of the month which as always has so many fabulous goodies inside. 

I wanted a pastel background that wouldn't overwhelm the stamps or die cuts so I created it using Simon Says Stamps Interlocking Circles stencils set from the new Good Luck Charm release, with Mowed Lawn, Scattered Straw & Broken China Distress Inks, & applied the ink so the pattern would fade out towards the edge of my card.

Other supplies used - 

Simon Says Stamp Blending Brushes, Simon Says Stamp Green Apple & White Woodgrain cardstock, Antique Linen & Pumice Stone Distress Inks, Tacky Glue, Double Sided Tape, Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer, Neenah Solar White cardstock, Prima Flower, May Arts Twine, Nuvo Crystal Drops

I didn't want to end my post today without sending love not only to all our friends in Ukraine but also the innocent Russian people affected by this horrendous war.

The world watches in horror at the news reports we are seeing & hope the peace you deserve can be found again very soon.

Thanks for stopping by &  stay safe!

Today's card actually turned out nothing like I had originally intended! 

Originally I had stamped & coloured the images from Lawn Fawns Hoppy Easter stamp set to use & I'd cut a patchwork background from the Hello Sunshine Remix 6x6 paper pad when I remembered I had some teeny white poms poms from a Simon Says Stamp Card Kit that I could use for the tails & had a complete change of plan, & this happened!

I set aside the stamped images & background & die cut some bunnies from the Hoppy Eater coordinating die set using the Hello Sunshine Remix 6x6 paper pad instead.

Other supplies used - 

 Tacky Glue, Simon Says Stamps Grassy Edges wafer die & Flickering Butterflies wafer die, Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer,  MFT's Stitched Clouds dies, Distress Inks, Black Pigment Ink, Sentiment - SSS Spring Gnomes stamp set
