Spring Flowers

I been rather quite lately what with my Mum coming home from Hospital (glad to say she back to normal now) and the Easter hols. But in between I have managed to get some crafting done, just not had time to share with you all. Here is my card for today, it's similar to one that I made at a Phil Martin workshop at the end of last year but I've put my own twist on it. I started with an 8x8 card base and black card for the matting, some white card cut slightly smaller than the black which I coloured with distress inks. I then sprayed Dylusions Shimmer Sprays onto my glass mat and mopped up some of the colour onto the background I had made. I repeated this for the centre circle and added a sentiment from Chocolate Baroque. I made some flowers that from a die that was bought from the Internet and mopped up more spray from the mat before putting together on the card with some die cuts of leaves, from another die bought from the Internet.

Hope you are all enjoying this wonderful weather that we're having at the moment, I'm off to my Sister-in-laws this afternoon.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Allsorts..... Blossoms, Butterflies and Bugs
A Bit More Time To Craft..... Anything Goes
Back To Basics and Beyond..... Use A Spray
My Time To Craft..... Spring Flowers

Thank you for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

Spooky Journey

My card that I'm sharing with you today I have entered into this month's Challenge over at Lavinia Stamps. Now I must admit that I made this card back in June when I had Maureen Kane (Scraps Of Life By Scrappy Mo) staying for a couple of days. We had great fun get inky and playing with distress inks and Brushos, while our hubby's were off playing Golf. This card was made while playing with water colour card and Brushos along with Lavinia Stamps. I had not posted this before in the hope that there would be a Challenge that it would fit into. This month's challenge at Lavina Stamps is Hocus Pocus. It also fit the Challenge at Back To Basics And Beyond which this month is Watercolours, the Brusho background fits right into that one.

Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.
