Spring Card for Magnolia_licious

Hi everyone, hope everyone's weekend is well and truly off to a great start and the weather is co-operating wherever you live.

I was playing around with my Cricut Expressions the other day, trying to make card templates and managed to do complete this circle easel card.

I really love the variety you can achieve with the easel card and will be trying to make a few more different styles, but in the meantime, I though this would be a nice entry into the Magnolia_licious Home Card for April.

For this card I used the gorgeous Tilda with three flowers and colored her with Copics. I decided to leave her dress white because it seems so crisp and fresh, and to me that feels like the start of Spring. The large butterfly was cut on my cricut using MS Elegant Cakes cartridge and the smaller ones are MS Monarch butterfly punch, which I chalked and covered with SU Dazzling Diamonds.

The fun daisies are by Kaisercraft and I think they set this card off beautifully. The lovely ruffled green organza ribbon is from my stash and the sentiment is computer generated.

I hope you like this little card today and hope you can find some quiet time to spend in your craft room this weekend.

hugs for now....

March Mingle card - Dewi pls don't look

Hello everyone...and Happy Hump Day :)

This is the card I was hoping to post a couple of days ago, but had a hectic few days.

DH who works fly in / fly out (2 weeks away and 1 week home) came home half way through his roster with what the Medico's thought may have been DVT. But results have come back clear for DVT thank goodness. He just has to rest, so he will be home for a couple of weeks.

Anyhoo, I tried to post this card yesterday but Blogger wouldn't co-operate....surprise surprise!!

I wanted to share this little card I made for my March Mingle partner Dewi who lives quite close to me, as she is only in Indonesia.

As St Paddy's Day was coming up, I chose to stay with that theme and this is what I came up with.

I love this Midsummer Tilda, and think she looks gorgeous all dressed up in her lovely 'green'. Bazzill CS for card base and mats, DP's are MME, Doiley, Flowers WOC, Sentiment is computer generated and Distress Ink for the mat edges.

Well I am off to finish another project which I will post very soon. Have a great day and I hope you find a few minutes to craft...

hugs
