Spring Time

Although Spring is supposed to be on its way this week, we will be seeing freezing temperatures here in the UK.  However I wanted to share my Spring themed tags I made for a recent Facebook Group swap.

To make them I painted some thick card tag bases with blue acrylic paint and added the clouds with white paint.  For the tag on the left I die cut the fence before adding the rabbits and the grass. These were from a great set of stamps free with Crafts Beautiful Magazine. I had a diecut butterfly in my stash and scrunched up a paper flower to create the daffodil.

For the second tag I put it through an embossing folder and highlighted the areas with coloured pencils and inks. I added the stamped images and the paper flowers. The flowers I decorated with sparkly glitter.

I hope the recepient will enjoy them much as I do!

I thought I would write this post before I get lost in the fun and games of the Easter weekend. I can't wait for our egg hunt!

We had some unusual garden visitors this week too!

Spring Time

I hope you are looking forward to the weekend? I am looking forward to a rest having been busy with my Design Team samples for Serif CraftArtist this week. You may also have seen the beautiful new digikits by Victoria Nelson on Create and Craft today I will share those pictures later this weekend.

Today I would like to share a Spring time / Easter themed card I created with my new stamp set from InkyDoodles.

Using the Spring Applique set I stamped the two bunnies and coloured them with Promarkers. I then created the outside border using the small stamps in the set. Again these were coloured with Promarkers. I think it makes a very sweet Easter / Spring card and can't wait to use more of the set!

I am entering my card into the following blog challenges:
