Meerkats

Hello everyone

Hope that you are all enjoying the sunshine that is around at the moment.

Today I have a birthday card for you. I was asked to make a card that featured meerkats and had a rustic feel it. I found this a really hard card to make, as I wasn't completely sure on what colour scheme to use, although the card was for a woman I did not feel that pinks and purples were really appropriate so in the end I decided to go with brown and pull the varying tones from the picture of the two meerkats.

The picture I found on the internet (apologies cannot remember the website), the handmade paper and the brown backing paper were from my stash, the button, gems and gold swirls were also from stash and the twine was from another project.

Paws-fur-a-moment

Hi guys

I hope that you all had a fab Easter , and that the Easter bunny brought you lots of chocolate.

Well today is another Paws-fur-a-moment card, I am loving this set at the moment so they will be a regular appearance over the next few weeks.

Its not obvious from the photo but I added some sparkly glitter to the post box and tree blossom to give it some extra sparkle.
