Spring is in the air...

I have been really struggling to know where to start with my card making when it comes to the many challenge competitions there are on the web. I found an old note book and for the last few cards I have drawn what my finished produce is supposed to look like. I tend to deviate from the plan a little when I see that logistically this or that piece just will not go where I thought it would originally, but on the whole I feel more relaxed and am back to enjoying my cardmaking.

I used the sizzix ornate trifold die and Karen Burnistons zig zag 3-D pop up die for the base of the card. The flowers are from my Tim Holtz tattered flower garland strip die. The sun and cloud are a from my sizzix hello kitty die. I bought some new card from money and vouchers I received for my birthday, this card is made from the 'family ties' pad.

I added a little butterfly stamp behind the flowers. I also changed the word the little rabbit holds from 'love' to 'spring is in the air' by stamping the words on a separate piece of paper and gluing it behind some extra rabbits paws creating a decoupage effect.

I'm going to enter this into the craftycardmakers competition. http://craftycardmakers.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/90-april-showers-bring-may-flowers.html

Designated be nice to mum zone...

I am determined that my new craft area will stay MY area and not be taken over by the many little people who live and play in my house!! I had a few peaceful hours this weekend so made this new sign. I used Tim Holtz tattered flower garland die, sponge dyed all the edges and put lots of stickles glitter glue on them! I attached the flowers to the flags with little brads and added some more stickles glitter glue to them. I couldn't find any paper eyelets so used some from my dress making box. For the lettering I used the Xcuts Headliner alphabet die, with yet more stickles glitter glue:)
