Spring Flowers

It's the second week of Valerie's theme Spring Flowers over at

TAG TUESDAY.

This week I used two stamp sets.

Sweet Songbirds for the branches, leaves and small flowers

and Timeless Arrangements for the grass and flowers below.

I added some stencilled clouds to the background

and coloured the flowers using my blends.

I hope you get time to join us!! If you have an end piece of card on your desk

then why not stamp some little flowers and come and share with us.

April Newsletter tutorial

My April newsletter freebie is this card tutorial.

I saw a lady on blog land recently posted a shape like this

and really fancied having a go.

Her blog is called Made by Mandy.

I had to work out the measurements etc but was very inspired by her card.

This one is for my Son's birthday this month.

Spring flowers

Happy Tuesday.

We have a new theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

which has been chosen by Valerie and she wants to see

Spring Flowers.

I had a play with Darling Details stamp set and stamped

my tag in a few different colours using the small flower.

I used an embossed line to separate a space

for my sentiment to which I added some

bigger flowers and leaves.

To finish I added some pearlized enamel dots in white

and a little gingham bow.

We have had visitors galore lately,

A Little Latte

1st April, any fools about??

Hope not lol.

My card today is a birthday card for my daughter this month.

She loves her coffee so I thought a card with a pocket

for a voucher or cash would suit her perfectly.

It's a simple enough funfold card to which I added a pocket.

I used the lovely dies to make the coffee cups and spoon.
