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.

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!
