Guest DT Belles 'n Whistles - Kindness Comes in Many Forms but Always from the Heart Easel Card

Hi everyone! I hope everyone had a fab week! Are you ready for the weekend?! I hope wherever you are the weather is sunny and warm. I hope you are able to find some time to relax and maybe do a bit of crafting because I know I will be doing both :o)

I'm having such fab time being GDT for Belles 'n Whistles. Thx Summer for having me be a part of such an amazing DT! It's been so fun working with the new Forever Young Collection. I luv every single stamp!

Today I've decided to make an easel card in my fav colour combo, pink & brown. I've coloured this beautiful Princess Tales stamp with Copic markers and I've added some Stickles glitter to her tiara and bag. Doesn't the sentiment go perfectly with this lil princess?! She could have just received a special gift, maybe crafting goodies, from a dear friend which is safely tucked away in her fab bag or she's surprising someone special with an oh so yummy gift.

I hope everyone’s doing well. I'm off to make more cards with the beautiful Belles 'n Whistles stamps. Be sure to drop by on Monday for the new challenge. I look forward to seeing everyone's fab creations.

Take care and happy crafting!!!
