And now we've taken all our Christmas decorations down at home it seems a bit grey and dark - I just love my white fairy lights (but no twinkling ones - I'd have a constant migraine lol!). So with all the grey skies and miserable weather, I thought I'd share a card with a more Spring-like feel just to brighten things up!
I've used a gorgeous Sarah Kay stamp 'Spring Blossoms' and coloured her with copics.
The backing papers are from LOTV, and the flowers from Wild Orchid. The leaf die cuts are from Joanna Sheen signature die range and I've used the Spellbinders floral oval (which I'm friends with again now after buying some waxed paper - this has dramatically reduced the bad language and tantrums when using finely detailed dies lol!).
And I decided to make a gatefold card for a change (even though it's still 6" square!)
The sentiment is from LOTV and the lace edging is from my stash!
I don't usually make any New Year Resolutions - my willpower is not the strongest! - but I think if I make a crafting one it will be that I use my stamps and stash a bit more. Some of my poor stamps have barely seen the light of day!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. I've just got the usual jobs to do and then I'm back at work tomorrow.
Back soon,
Kim x

Card is gorgeous Kim, my Grand Calibur went klunk the other day LOL so DH has tried but there is still something rattling about but its kind of working so fingers crossed it lasts till my craft account cant afford another die cutting machine. I feel for you and the greenhouse, my brother's looked like someone had picked it up and threw it around then dropped if from a height, totally wrecked, anyway enough waffling hugglesssssssss Sue xxxx
