Where Is Spring...?

The weather this last week has been pretty poor so I thought I'd make a few cards with Spring in mind in the hope that Spring will hurry up and get here soon!

The first is very pink and girly and I really quite like it. I used a 5x5 card blank which is smaller than I usually use but better suited the small image.

I have decorated the inside of my card in co-ordinating papers...



Supplies:
Image - Garden Friends clear stamp set by Penny Black coloured with Promarkers
Papers - Sparkling Spring by Prima from Dies To Die For
Flowers - Crafty Emma's Store and Wild Orchid Crafts
Seam binding - Crafty Ribbons
Pearls - The Glitter Pot
Tools - Labels One nesties, Martha Stewart butterfly punch

The second is a cutesy Easter card. I love the little chicks and the Prima papers.


Supplies:
Image - Garden Friends clear stamp set by Penny Black coloured with Promarkers
Papers - Celebrate with Jack & Jill by Prima from Crafty Emma's Store
Cardstock - Bazzill Basics
Flowers - Dies To Die For
Seam binding - Crafty Ribbons
Pearls - The Glitter Pot
Gem brads - American Crafts
Tools - Oval and scallop oval nesties


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Crafty Creations - At The Bottom Of My Garden...

Supplies:
Image - Garden Friends clear stamp set by Penny Black coloured with Promarkers
Papers - Minuet by Memory Box from Quixotic Paperie
Flowers - Dies To Die For
Seam binding - Crafty Ribbons

Tools - Deckle edge Nestie, scissors for distressing

This was a quick and easy boy card for a party Jack is going to today. I made 2 of these cards as he has another party next week.

Papers - Back to Basics II by Dovecraft from Crafty Emma's Store
