 The mini stamp set we have for you this month is:
"Corn Ears"

Today's set called Garden Bunny is perfect both for spring, and for Easter which will soon be here:


My first instinct was to use the bunny, but then I thought it might be more interesting to make a couple of cards that you might not immediately think of.  My first used the vegetables:





This was a fun one to make with the water colouring, braided twine, and both heat and dry embossing.


My second card is more CAS.  I thought it would be fun to focus on carrots:



Of course I couldn't forgo a touch of sparkle.  Even carrots look great with gemstones!

I hope you enjoyed viewing my cards as much as I enjoyed making them.  The rest of the DT had a great time with the stamps this month so don't forget to continue hopping and see what wonderful things they've done.  And you should also visit the Mark's Finest Papers store.  There you will find a lot more beautiful stamp sets and some wonderful crafty products!  :)

    Cathy,
    Your first card is really pretty and I love the darker EFd BG - it shows the wonderfully colored veggies perfectly and I like the addition of the twine. Your second pretty CAS card is lovely as well.
