Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #185 ~ Spring into Spring

Hello, I don't know what it's like where you live but this weekend we have enjoyed some lovely sunny days, it's still been on the cold side and a little windy  but the sun has been wonderfully refreshing and with the clocks going forward yesterday it must mean that Spring really is on the way!  And that's the theme for this fortnight over at Crafty Cardmakers 'Spring into Spring' and our wonderful Peggy is hosting this time round.

I recently was gifted lots of cardmaking and scrapbooking stash and I have used some of the new things to create my card this time.  I went for a vintage spring feel using K&Co Brianna paper which I stamped directly on to using Papertrey Ink stamps and then coloured with Chameleon pens (was really nervous about doing this but I love how it turned out) the sentiment wrap and sentiment are also from Papertrey Ink.  I finished off with some Prima flowers and die cut leaves and mounted it all onto green cs (I think it makes a nice change from the white I usually use).

Beehive Queen

Today I thought I'd share the card I have made for the March Progressive Challenge over at Simply B Stamps Fan Page.  I must admit to being new to Simply B images but I'm lovin' them and this one is no exception.  I have coloured her with a mix of markers, (can't get to grips with skin using chameleons!), SN pencils and SN Sparkle pens, she is matted onto some black card and some black gems added.  Background printed paper is from Raspberry Road Designs then I added a circle of yellow cs which has been embossed, some ribbon from my stash.  The sentiment came with the image so I printed it onto yellow cs and matted it with black cs and finished of with some little bee buttons that I have had for such a long time, they have been attached to the back of the sentiment using some yellow wire.

Crafty Catz Challenge #360 ~ Anything Goes

Good morning, I seem to be totally in a rush all the time at the moment and if not in a rush then I'm tired!  Just as well I'm on holiday for a while think I need time to unwind and slow down with some serious crafting!  Anyway it's Friday so that means a new challenge over at Crafty Catz and the theme is 'Anything Goes' and this week it is the turn of our fabulous leader Carol to pick the twist for the DT and this week it's 'Doilies', you don't have to do the twist but it we love it when you do play along with the twist.  Our wonderful sponsor this week is 

A DAY FOR DAISIES

The DT were very generously given some images to play along with.  I chose 'Birds For Bree' I have coloured her with a mix of markers, added a stamped sentiment, papers are Santoro and called Adrift (I think, its an old pad) but they gave me a sort of vintagey feel.  The 2 rows of birds are die cut from papers from the same pad.  Doily is from a pack of mixed size ones that I bought ages ago in a kitchen shop with the thought of crafting not baking! lol  Added some lace from stash and finished off with a metal square brad which has a rose from the background paper set into it with a resin top.
