3rd birthday Card

Happy Sunday,

We had some much needed rain last night which will be good to help settle in some bedding plants that have recently been planted. I had a little catch up on blog hopping whilst hubby watched the footie...Englad were their usual disappointing selves but a huge well done to Wales for winning their opening match!

I'm sharing a recent card I made for a 3rd birthday...I've used this adorable little pre-coloured image and kept the design fairly clean and simple. I really love the colours on this card and must make a note to use them more often.

Pre-coloured Image: Wildrose Studio (Elsie Panels)

Digital Design Papers: Shabby Princess (Oh So Pretty) and Bella Gypsy (Hurry Up Spring)

Embellishments: Pearls from my craft stash

Tools: Die-namics ‘By The Numbers' and 'Photo Corners', Nestabilities

Sentiment: TLC

Passion for Promarkers #344...Nature

Good morning,

It's time to share new challenge details for Passion for Promarkers and this weeks theme is all about...

NATURE

My contribution to nature is this pretty little box of flowers...I love daisies as they remind me of my childhood, making daisy chains in the summer and then attempting to wear them as a necklace. Somehow I always managed to break mine though!

Apologies for the rubbish photo...my camera broke over the weekend and I had to snap this with my iphone...its not the best quality but needs must and all that. Also, just as a point of reference for myself really, this card is 8" x 8" and the scalloped card base came from Hunkydory.
