Just For Fun - Its Spring time

This is my entry for this weeks Just for Fun

which is , Its Spring Time.

I love Pansys and Violas and when all the daffodils

start flowering I find myself looking for the little violas

i adore the colours the beautiful purples , lilacs and touches of yellow on their petals .

Ive had this sizzix die for some time, it was one of the first

i ever bought , yet I hardly use it . So I thought this was perfect for this challenge.

I started by cutting out a selection of colours

Then layering the different shades of the petals on a base flower

I took some cream cardstock and matted it onto gold

and added some gold ribbon across the bottom

I used a nib dipped in distress ink to highlight the petals

Added my sentiment and attached 3 flower heads

to my card

I added some purple cardstock to lift it a little

And thats my card finished.

Hope everyones plans for christmas are going well , its certainly very busy here

I dont know where the time is going too.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and as usual its much appriciated .

Hope you all have a lovely week. Please leave a comment so that I know

you have stopped by , thanks .

Just for Fun - Winter

Sorry Ive not been able to join in these last

couple of weeks , life has just gotten in the way.

This is my entry for this weeks Just For Fun

which is Winter.

I really love this lampost its one of my favourite dies at the moment.

I love the thought of wintery nights and snowflakes falling around

the glow of the street lights ( when im inside the house of course).

I used a silver pearl dabber to colour up the navy cardstock

before adding the lampost and snowflakes .

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend

thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment as always

its much appriciated .
