Hello Friends :-) Here is a Whimsy Stamps creation I want to share with you. A CAS card I made today using the awesome Witch Hat Sentiment Set by Raindrop Echo Designs again.

Happy Saturday Everyone! Here is my second guest designer creation for Shaky A. digi stamps . This time I've played with Margot , isn't she cute?   She's been colored with Copics and the card's made in a more clean and simple style than the one with Penelope the other day. The sentiment comes with the stamp and the papers are from a Glitz Design paper pad. Everything else is from my stash. A close-up: And a shot from another angle: There's also a FB group to share all things Shaky A. HERE and a BLOG where the DT is sharing their amazing creations . Make sure you stop by and visit!

Happy Hump Day Everyone! Today I like to share a creation with you as a guest designer for Shaky A. digi stamps .

Planet where you will find all his stamps available for immediate download . Some wonderful inspiration from the DT can be found on the Shaky A. blog HERE. For my card I used Penelope and I colored her using Copics. I sprinkled some shabby white embossing powder around the image. The sentiment comes with the image.

Filmstrip is from Tim Holtz and the papers are Maja Design. A closer look: Thanks for stopping by today and I'll have another Shaky A. creation to show here on my blog later this week.
