For my card I used this very cute Baykahbella stamp from Stamping Bella .


I coloured the image with Copics and the edges inked with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink. I used Memory Box Pixie papers and used a little bit of a striped design to paper piece her pinny. this is a gorgeous paper pack, lovely designs and quality :-) I layered her pouch and popped the spoons in there ,, I also layered the rolling pin and used Helmar Scrap Dots to fix, better for small items than pop dots. I used a check design paper as that has lots of stripes in it !!

For the spots I used a Memory Box Bubble Dots Die and made 2 strips which I used underneath the bias tape. I have bought several Memory Box dies and they cut beautifully, they have lots of gorgeous designs and I just LOVE them !! They are wafer thin so are easy to store too !!

The flowers are from a Hero Arts Blush Print pack and I added a green flower and Blush Dot for the centre. I also popped a die cut made using a Heart Swirl die underneath. to finish I added a Cupcake Charm and I used a Spellbinder Ribbon Tag for the sentiment.

Thanks for looking :-) Our Designer in the Spotlight, Debbie, and the DT have made some gorgeous cards for your inspiration so hop on over to the Simon Says Stamp Challenge to see them
