New Stamps from Little Claire's :)

Hello there, I have popped by to show you one of the cards I have made using the gorgeous new stamps being released over at Little Claire's :)

Here is my card:

I have used the lovely new 'Hunny Bunny' stamp from Little Claire's, coloured with ProMarkers. I have also used a tag sentiment from Little Claire's 'Little Beauties' stamp set, a set that I find so useful :) The papers are from the Kaisercraft 'fine & sunny' paper pad. I have mounted them on dark brown cardstock and added gems, ribbon and pearls from my stash. I have also inked the edges of the main image and tag using pale blue ink.
