Adorimals

Now just how adorable and fabulous can an image be??? This is just such a fabulous concept that Kim, our amazing artist at Paperbabes has come up with, I could squeeeeeeeeeeeeal!
Firstly you need the Digital images available HERE then pop some clear stamps into your basket HERE these are called mini kawaii face stamp, they are perfectly sized and spaced to fit your chosen animal digi images. I have only shared a few here but there are also bears, bunnies, cats, dogs, monkeys and mice with more to come, yay!!! I am bursting with excitement. I am always a little thin on what to do for little ones, and find this the perfect solution. There are so many fabulous little facial features that there is just no limit to what you can create! Treat yourself, you won't regret it!!

RECIPE

Clear stamps and digital images available HERE coloured with Promarkers and fussy cut.
