Easter

I love Easter: it coincides with spring and everything feels so fresh and joyful. A new challenge to me, Pan Pastel UK Blog Challenge, wants to see our Easter projects.

My card uses a vintage image, embossed Nestabilities die and assorted flowers including a gorgeous layered bloom by Prima.

I made another and used Diamond Glaze on the eggs to raise them off the page. Soft colour effect achieved with chalks on embossed paper.

Mother's Day

I'll be taking my mum to the Corbyn Head Hotel in Torquay today for their wonderful Mother's Day lunch. Here's the card I've made her - I used some papers and a design in one of the cardmaking magazines - and a scrapbook layout which has hidden journalling. I hope you enjoy Mother's Day whatever you are doing.

Granny's Photo Album

Gingersnap Creations is looking for our interpretation of "Granny's Photo Album." I'm making a scrapbook for my mum's milestone birthday and I've made this layout in memory of her parents.

Paper & letter stickers: BoBunny, rose and plants stamps: Elusive Images; flowers Prima

Feathered Friends

Feathered friends is the challenge at Sunday Postcard Art. Here is my postcard.

One Layer - Script

Stamps used: Elusive Images

It's the tough "one layer" challenge at Simply Less is More. I stamped and embossed in gold and green and painted the leaves and flowers with Twinkling H2Os which have a lovely mica finish.

Spread Your Wings

Spread your wings is the challenge at Allsorts this week. My card features a winged angel, created with glass paints and sprinkled with Stickles glitter. She rests on a background created with citrus alcohol ink and a doily.

Take a Word: Masculine

Take a Word's challenge today is Masculine. After looking at some of the work posted, I nearly didn't put mine up --- but here goes anyway!
