Spring is nearly here.....

The very talented Mona has another fabulous challenge over at CR84FN Colour Challenge with these gorgeous colours.


The colours remind me that spring is nearly here after the harsh winter we've all had and that makes me happy !!!




I decided to use a Magnolia stamp as I haven't used them for months and she is so cute,I coloured her in using promarkers. I decided to make a Tent card so Tilda had somewhere to sit,all the papers are from Prima Sweet Fairy 6x6 paper stack,I covered the front of the card with the green polkadot paper and cut a circle out the front using a Nestie then adhered a scallop circle frame around the cut out . I glued a piece of teal text paper inside the card so you can see it through the circle.Once I put the card together,I cut Tilda out and sat her on the front,added flowers and punched glittered leaves.
Tent cards are very quick and easy to make,if anybody wants me to do a tutorial on how to make one let me know and I will do one.

Have a great day and will be back soon.
