Garden Party

Another lovely spring time image again, for this week's progressive challenge at Designed2Delight, and I actually finished it in time to submit my entry.  Using Prismas, it was so nice to work with the bright spring colours.  Can't wait to see the flowers in my own garden, however, maybe not the mice.  They are lovely and cute in pictures, but up close and personal.......not so much!!!  LOL

I've cut it out with my new Nestie die that just came in today's mail, isn't it gorgeous.  I actually ordered four, (two of them were gifts), so I'll be having some extra fun coming up.

A Martha Stewart punch is used for the corners of the DP, and to add a fancy edge to the card.  A few gems and a little bow is all that's needed, and it's ready to go.

So thanks again for your visit, and your lovely comments.  Now, go and enjoy the day.....and hopefully some nice spring weather.  Of course, that may mean rain......but April showers bring May flowers, remember!
