Spring Garden card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi everyone,

If you're one of my followers you would have seen that I have just made a Tent Topper card for my guest DT spot at Tuesday Throwdown. Before that challenge I had no idea they existed but now I am totally in love with tent toppers and have made another already haha!! I did a bit of paper piecing here as the gingham paper inspired me. You may also notice I have been using the little white and pink resin flowers a lot, I just can't get enough of them as they are so perfectly sized for cards. Did you see I put 3 little tiny ones in her basket hehe?

The beautiful image is from The Paper Shelter, isn't she so sweet? This the first time I've created with her. The pearls are by Flourish with a Bling.

With Love card (Scrapper's Delight image)

Hi everyone,

This is a card I made using my Spellbinders die cuts. I firstly cut the card base being careful to keep two scallops still attached so the card can stay together. Then I cut the teal paper with the exact same die so it could be attached. 

The really cute image is by Scrapper's Delights.

I have used Antique brown rhinestones and teal pearls from Flourish with a Bling.

Thinking of you card (Sarah Kay image)

Hi everyone,

This is my third card to show for the day and it's a little garden scene. I stuck her down before thinking she would have been better with the little flies and extra white bits cut out more but once it's glued down there's no going back is there lol so I've moved on. 

I think she's so sweet, the image is a Sarah Kay one and I have used this image many times before, I even have her coloured up ready for another card at some stage. She reminds me of this time of year (well, USA's time of year lol, we're coming up to Autumn here in Australia). I love the challenges during Feb, March and April, first love/Valentine's Day, then Spring and Easter, such beautiful fresh and happy cards to be made. That's a hint I have a lot of crafting in me right now hehe, love it!!
