In the Spring Garden

 


The challenge at Allsorts will run for two weeks due to the Easter holidays. Ellie has chosen an optional theme of In the Spring Garden, but as always we now allow anything goes too. So no excuse not to enter, plus look at the lovely prizes on offer below.

For my DT card I chose to use a stamp by Ukrainian designer Lesia Zgharda. I coloured the flowers using TH Distress watercolour pencils. I found this snippet of dragonfly paper and thought it went well with the dotted papers. 

For a change I inset the greeting into the background paper rather than layering it. Finishing touch are three green pieces of waste from a die which I have started saving in a little pot!

Crocus certainly says Spring Garden - pretty card. I suspect many of us have a little pot for saving the 'waste' from die cutting, great that you actually used some of them 😀

How well that Dragonfly DP coordinates with the pretty Crocus Lynn, lilac and green work so well together.

A beautiful card. When the crocus pop their heads up in our garden I feel sure that spring is on its way.
