Another lovely card made using one of the two flower image in the digital stamps "Sunflowers Set" from Doodle Palace digital stamps.
I used colored pencils to color the image, then added a bit of glitter on the center of the flowers and the heart.

Wild Card #23 -Thinking of You
This card is a "thinking bubble" shape, a very fun idea for a "thinking of you" card.
This wild card can be found on page 54 of the wildcard booklet.
Circled in red are the images and quantities cut for this card.
Each image was cut at 6" (I do not use the real dial size feature)
The front bubble image was cut on double sided paper, so I was able to fold it over and glue the flap down, it created a great frame look. I then glued this directly to the top of my white card.
I discovered a really cool effect for my "thinking of you" word. I wanted the word to pop off the card, but I knew using pop-dots would look too bulky for me, so I tried using liquid applique, this is like puff paint after being heated with a heat tool it puffs up.
I added white liquid applique to the back side of my word, let it dry for a few hours, then heated using a heat tool, then I gently dabbed my wide two-way glue over the puffed applique then placed it onto the front of my card. This gave me clean raised words, just the look I wanted.
A better view of the raised words
I added the cut out oval to the front of the envelope.

Little Miss Bunny
Doodle Palace is having their new digital stamp release today, one is Chibi Kids Bunny, the second is an Easter Cross.
I used the sweet little bunny.
I colored the hair, face, belly, hands & ears with colored pencils, then added glitter to the hands, belly, ears, and barrette. Then used liquid applique all over the bunny coat, the tip on this pen makes adding the liquid applique so easy. Then for the fun, I heat the liquid applique with a heat tool and it puffs right up.... so cool!
My adorable fuzzy bunny.
To see more great projects using this sweet bunny and the Easter Cross go HERE and check out the Doodle palace design team projects; remember to click on the designers name to go to their blog and see more details about their project.
