Hello! I hope you are having a great week. Today I have a project up on the Simplicity at its Best blog. It’s not a card, but something to jazz up a gift instead. Head over to the blog for the full reveal.

I have a couple of Jane’s Doodles projects to share with you today. You can find the original posts on the Jane’s Doodles blog here and here.
First up is a little tag which uses the Cake! stamp set and it was super quick to make. I’ve actually had the splattered background sitting on my desk for a while, but it was pretty easy to create – a touch of Distress ink watercolouring and some splatters. I stamped the cake image and didn’t want it to compete with the background, so I kept it fairly plain and just added some shading with some light grey Copic markers. It’s got some shimmer with some Wink of Stella, but it is hard to see in the photo.
Next up is a happy hello card which features the Love Birds and Daisies stamp set. I stamped the hello sentiment repeatedly in different colours but I drew in some lines to help me get things straight. Once again, the little bird shimmers with a Wink of Stella. Boy I love that pen!

Hello! I’m knee deep in report writing at the moment, so I’m just quickly popping in with another Penny Black card. This cute little puppy is from a set called Buddy and Duck. Lots of cute images in this set. I sponged on some distress ink over the top of the Zigs and Zags stencil. The sentiment paired so well with the image and it is from the Sentiment Collection set. I’m more of a cat person myself, but I do like it that most dogs are so loyal and happy.

Hello crafty peeps. I hope you have been getting in lots of crafty time – because I certainly haven’t. I feel like I am burning the candle at both ends at the moment – and to top it off I have hurt my back, at the gym of all places! I just can’t seem to win!
Anyway, I have a couple of Jane’s Doodles projects to share with you from the last couple of weeks. You can find the posts on the Jane’s Doodles blog here and here.
First up this little tag uses the Special Delivery stamp set. The stamp has a baby in the pram, but I swapped it out for the teddy bear.
My second card uses quite a few Jane’s Doodle stamp sets. I created the bubbly background using the Stripes and Dots stamp set. I used first, second and third generation stamping in 3 different colours as well as white. I stamped onto watercolour paper, as that is what I had layering around. For the smallest dot, I used the eraser on the end of my pencil. The crab is from the Under the Sea set and coloured with Copics. The sentiment is from the Doodle Flowers stamp set.

Happy Easter! I have a card over on the Jane’s Doodles blog at the moment. It uses the Under the Sea stamp set and the sentiment is from the Hello Friend stamp set. By the way, Jane is having a sale at the moment – 20% off all stamps. Shop here.
After stamping the fish in some waterproof ink, I water coloured the scene using my Kuretake water colour paints. I mixed in some of the white pearlised paint with the aqua paint, and it turned out beautifully. It has a nice lustre and shine to it.

Sadly, today is my last post as a designer for Sunny Studio. I have had a blast being on the Design Team for the last 6 months. I am very thankful to Mendi, the owner and designer of all the Sunny Studio products, for allowing me the opportunity to play and have fun with her super sweet products.
This week the team are showcasing the Sunny Borders stamp set. I have used the chevron stamp out of this set to create a fun backdrop for the cute critters out of the Sending My Love stamp set.
I just changed up the colours in the chevrons and also the critter.
