Wee Spring Bringer

Hello! Hope you're all well!

I'm back with another 'fancy' card lol.

One of the ladies at work saw the card I made for Mams birthday HERE and asked for a 'special one like it' for a 50th birthday.

 

 

So I printed off Wee Spring Bringer and decided to treat myself to some new digital papers from Nitwits.

She is coloured with Promarker and Flexmarkers to match the gorgeous Romance and Roses papers using these colours:

 

I can't believe how many flowers I used! I just seemed to be pilling them on!! Lol.

 

 I didn't want the 50 to be huge because I don't know the recipient

and how pleased they are that they are turning that age so

(I know a few silly folk that are embarrassed that they are turning 50 next year!)

 I used two small number peel offs on some card candi.

A side view.

I was inspired by THIS gorgeous card to put something behind the image.

And I wish I hadn't cause it was such a pain! I'll leave the gorgeous cards to Bev lol.

Hi everyone!

Long time no post from me - AGAIN!!

I have the excuse that I started placement on Monday and already have loadssss to do and last week was spent tying up all the loose ends at uni.

I did get a day off on Saturday though and guess where I went .......

                                  GNPE in Harrogate !!!!!!!

My amazing bf took me all the way to Harrogate only to stand behind me holding my bags for four hours bless him! I spent an immense amount of money that Ive been saving for ages and got some awesome stuff - namely a lot of LOTV stamps (and a few old), some nesties and some FAB craftwork cards stuff! Ive always liked craftwork cards stuff but have never actually bought any but I am now in LOVE  with them and have a wish list of stuff I want from their website lol! I had a brilliant day and felt like a kid again. It was fab knowing that the things that I wanted I could actually buy instead of just looking and drooling!

Anyway enough about my brilliant day at my first ever craft show lol I have another purple card to show you all.

Now I swear I hid of my purple stash but it managed to worm its way on to this card!

The stamp is the ever so cute Ellie from Stamposaurus. I love her to bits! I coloured her with promarkers and gave her a little MS butterfly. I really like the simplicity and white space on this card for some reason!

Anyway I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

• Promarker Challenge.- In the garden (Ellie is in her garden lol!)
• Stamp Something - Something Sweet
• I love promarkers - go dotty

Well off to do some planning! I get to teach my first lesson next week :s Its Science so I'm making it nice and practical lol!

Hugs
