Spring flowers

Wow it has been a beautiful warm sunny day today after a rainy and miserable day yesterday. We did our first gardening of the year so far and it is lovely to see those spring flowers appearing. I hope the weather has been kind to you today.

I have 2 cards to share with you tonight. The first card was made using the sketch from Lili of the Valley and their cute bear stamp. Papers are K&Co Daisy and Papermania Honey and Hugs. I added some organza ribbon for the challenge at Totally Gorjuss and some cherry blossom flowers from Wild Orchid with punched fern leaves and a couple of flatbacked pearls.

The second card is another Easter card using a Pollycraft digi image. I doodled round the edge, something I don't do often enough. More K&Co Daisy papers plus Papermania Amethyst Infusion. The sparkly butterfly was part of an Easter sticker pack from last year and matched the colour scheme perfectly. Flowers are Prima with brads and punched leaves.

This card is for rather more challenges than usual as so many have a spring or Easter theme this week.
