Daisies Anyone?

I had to make another Spring creation with the new Bouquet Daisy Set from Digital Delights.  Yes, "had to"!  The sun was shinning and my daffodils are just starting to show a bit of yellow.

Daisy is so lovely in her hat, she looks ready to go visit Grandma!  

Of course, that is what I would be thinking because I have several grand daughters.

Definitely Time for Spring

Snow still lingers in piles around town and I am getting more and more interested in the warmth of Spring.  This cutie - Carrot Bertie has already harvested his carrots and is willing to share (I think!).

I was thinking that green grass was needed for this image, so I got out my Die-Namics grass die and cut out a solid green and two print green layers.

Hello Sunshine!

My card this week features this cute Flower Power Daisy.  Wendy over at Digital Delights has made several of these wonderful spring flower girls.

This was a simple card to make.  I just printed out Flower Power Daisy and the sentiment.  The coloring was easy and then I used a Spellbinders die to cut the image shape.  I left the paper in the die and used Distress ink on a sponge to add color around the image, and this technique also leaves a white edge as a frame.

Sending You Bugs of Love

My card today is for Digital Delights and is the next in my Spring series. I used Bugs from the Bugs of Love Bunny Set as my central image.

I was looking for a different fold to try and ended up with a Joy Fold.  I got the template and tutorial from Split Coast Stampers.

This is the card when it is closed

I colored Bugs here with Copics.  It is difficult to see, but I stripped the shirt with green and yellow.

The top frame and image opens up

You can add your tidings on the inside of the Joy Fold.

You're Some Bunny Special to Me!

My card for Digital Delights this week features some of the new Easter images. I had fun designing with them!

To add dimension to the tree I punched a bunch of the small EK Success Retro flower and leaves.  

• I used my soft pad and a medium ball stylus to crinkle the paper and make them roll-up a bit. 
• I layered the leaf and flower together glued with craft glue to the branches of the tree.
• I sponged in sky color to add to the background.
