Spring has sprung!

It's March already and time for a new challenge over at
where the theme is Hello Spring!

We have a lovely prize up for grabs so be sure and join us
with your beautiful stamping projects!

For my card I have used a stamp set called
Timeless Tulips (SU).
I used some old papers for the background,
embossed white card using a Plank embossing folder (SU)
and then stamped and cut my flowers, leaves and stems.
After gluing them in place I stamped
the sentiment and punched them out using my
double oval punch (SU).

I would like to enter this into


I hope you get time to join us this month!

Our new challenge them over at
has begun and the theme this month is
Welcome Spring!

Again we have a lovely prize up for grabs
so be sure and join us!!

For my Welcome Spring card I have used a stamp
from Penny Black Slapstick called Soft Spoken.
I die cut squares in yellow and smaller ones in white
and stamped the flower head, off setting in each square.
I coloured them up with markers.
As this is a large card I cut out some yellow for the base
then ran a slightly smaller mat through an embossing folder
from Sheena Douglas on the top half
and used my embossing board to add lines to the bottom half.
After layering up my squares I positioned in the top half
and added a bow and stamped sentiment.
As it still looked a bit bare I added some gold gems.

I also finished the inside of this one
stamping the flowers along the bottom and colouring.



I would like to enter this into


I hope you get time to join both challenges this month!
