~~ Spring Colours at Fab'n'Funky

Hi everyone,

Hope your week is going well.

We are still in a deep freeze with no sign of Spring yet.

I am so anxious to get rid of the winter boots and coats. I've been

looking at the new spring clothes flooding the shops.  So many

lovely colours that inspired me but yellow is my favourite so far,

so I decided to use it in my creation today. 

I think it's perfect for our challenge this week at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #430

hosted by our lovely N-Eva

who has chosen the theme

"Spring Colours"

I've coloured with copics a digital image from Mo's Digital Pencil.

Happy Wednesday everyone. I  hope it's a good one for you.

Today starts a new challenge at

The Paper Shelter

and the theme is "Make it Digital"

I thought this was the perfect opportunity for me to showcase the wonderful

pre-coloured images and papers available in the shop.

I printed out two copies of "Spring Trends" available here.

Cut out the corner roses, a daisy and the gorgeous image of one of the sheets

and mounted them onto the first sheet.  Added a few bows and rhinestones

and matted everything onto an aqua, pink base, zig zag stitching the edges.

Cream base was made using Martha Stewart Cherish punches.

I do hope you get a chance to play along with us this week.

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a good weekend and for those of you that celebrated Mother's Day...

I hope you were pampered and spoiled..as you should be.

We had a lovely dinner at our daughters yesterday. She is an awesome cook so it's always a treat.

  I plan on tackling more of my spring cleaning this week so it's sure to be a busy one.

We even made an appointment to have the snow tires removed ...

that's how optimistic I am that Spring has arrived!

I've a card for you today that is from one of the new lines from Stamping Bella...I couldn't resist Seniorita Beverly.. ...she makes me smile... I just want to dance along with her. The wonderful sentiment is included.

It's not showing up on the photo but I added clear embossing powder to the rain and puddle to give a gloss.

DP is from the gorgeous Graphic45 Botanical Tea 8x8 pad.  

The cardstock is StampinUp Certainly Celery and the rose was made using SB Rose Creations die.  

 Doily and clip are from my stash.

Spring at TPC

Hi everyone,

It's time for a new challenge at 

Totally Papercrafts

and the theme chosen by our fabulous Lisa is Spring.

I saw this cutie pop up lately on a few of the talented blogs I follow and decided it was time I tried my hand at colouring her.  I bought her last year and sadly this is the first time she has been inked.  She is a Magnolia stamp called Tilda with Tulips.

I added a beautiful Birthday Circle from Crafty Sentiment Designs, our sponsor this week.

I kept this card fairly simple...tried adding flowers but in the end wanted the doily to be prominent.
  and yes.......... I am hoarding my flowers :)

Springtime

Hi everyone!!  I've a card to show you that I made just for fun tonight.  The current challenge at Saturated Canary is for Emerald and I was inspired by the beautiful picture when selecting my colours.  The digi I've used is called The Season, Springtime and is coloured with Copics. I know my youngest granddaughter is going to love this one....the flowing hair is always a favourite.

I used Memory Box Grand Oak Tree and added some bling.  Word is an old Sizzix die called In Bloom.  Cuttlebug Forest Branches embossing folder and Spellbinders Grand Oval dies.
