Has Spring Arrived?

Does several sunny days mean Spring has finally arrived? I hope so! Well I might be anticipating the arrival of Spring, but as the crocuses, daffs and hyacinths are all out in the garden I don't think it's far off! So a little trip to the garden centre was in order this weekend, and I just couldn't resist a few pansies to put in my pots and window boxes! I just love their little faces! But I did get time to do a few cards too, so here they are...


I used a Sugar Nellie stamp called "Penpal", she's just adorable don't you think? I've had her a while, but have never inked her up until now! She's coloured with Distress Inks, paper is Papermania Simply Elegant and Paper Mill, flowers are Prima, pearl brads also Papermania. The sentiment is stamped from Clare Curd's Signature Range. Ribbon and eyelets are from stash. For the card I used Carole's sketch over at Friday Sketchers, fairly simple but very nice to use.


This little card is for A Spoonfull of Sugar Challenge, which is a super sketch by Michelle. I used Papermania For Him paper, stamp is Penny Black "Fun Times" coloured with brush markers. Some of the stitching is fake and some is real (thought I'd get a bit adventurous lol). Sentiment is a stamp (Penny Black), stars are from Katy (merci)! I'm not sure about this card, simply because the papers look too busy and distract the eye, but ahm not ganna cry aboot it so divint worry hinnies!

Enjoy the sunshine, off to work so ta ta for now!
