Double post!


Our April challenge theme over at
is 'inspired by nature'.

We have two lovely prizes up for grabs
so I hope you get time to join us
and be sure and pop over if you need some
inspiration!

For my card I used a stamp set from
AALL & Create called Garden Tools #326.
I stamped the little snail then masked him off.
I then stamped the thistle across the base of my white
card, coloured them up with markers
and added some green for the ground and
clouds and blue for the sky.
I stamped the sentiment from the same set,
chopped it up and layered on the same
card as the backing card.

Our April challenge theme over at
is 'Spring has sprung'.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs here too.
Who doesn't need a Lavinia stamp
in their stash!!!
Pop over to the blog if you need
some inspiration.


I decided to make my little Granddaughter an
Easter card so pulled out my Fable Friends stamp set (SU).
So first I did my mat with some yellow card
and matching gingham which I stitched together.
I cut an oval in yellow and one in white
for my stamping.
I stamped the bunny, paper pieced his jacket and
coloured him up with markers
and added some grass to the bottom.
I punched some small flowers and leaves,
coloured them and added to my card.
I added some pearlised enamel dots to their centres.
I finished with a matching tag for
the sentiment, punched using  an old label
punch from SU.
I added some yellow gingham ribbon to the tag.

Happy Easter everyone!
