Miss You Lots

I am trying to use up some of my older stash at the moment and decided to use a topper from an old Studio Light Collection.

I used a topper and some elements from a Janneke Brinkman Die Cut Block, I didn't make the card as they suggest, instead I decided to create a slimline card.  The papers are from the 6 x 6 " paper pad that goes with the collection, I also added some corrugated cardstock and a sentiment from Lisa Horton Crafts.

Vintage Boy

This card was created using another Studio Light Collection, I'm not sure which one this is from unfortunately - it's quite an old one I think.

I love the vintage image and bunny, they are so cute.  I inked the edges of everything, layered them up using foam pads and added 3D Crystal Lacquer to the buttons.  The sentiment stamp is an old one from Simon Says Stamp.
