So onto my designs for this week!  I have done two different projects with the Sunflowerbuggies digi stamp from Meljens Designs.  I just love it!

The first project is an easel card using the Summer Driggs 'A little Spring in your step' papers which I had free as a digital download.  I love the colours on this set and to match I coloured the sunflower image in pink instead of yellow.  The image is coloured with Pro markers.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I made some paper roses and covered them with rock candy stickles.  I added some green ribbon and a bow to the easel bar and that was it!  Hope you like it. 

The next project I did used papers from the same range but this time for a little wall hanging rather than a card;

I used the same digi stamp in the same Pro marker colours to match the card.  I cut out 'flowers' on my Cricut and distressed some seam binding to match the colours.  I made more paper roses but this time I dipped them into ultra thick embossing enamel so they are really shiny (not sure this shows too well in the pictures).  The actual hanging is using a Papermania chipboard sheet out of one of their  mini album packs.

Anyway I hope you like my two little projects;o)  I hope you'll have a go with the challenge this month.
Take care
