Say It With Flowers


Ta dah...we've made it to April!  Surely spring will be along soon, and we have just the theme to whet your appetite with today's blog hop at Just Inklined.    Karen J is our lovely hostess this month,  starting  off the hop and choosing the theme 'Say it with Flowers'.

If you have arrived here from Karen L's blog, then you're on the right track, otherwise you may want to start at the beginning...it would be such a shame to miss anything.  Don't forget to leave your comments, to be in the running for one of our spot prizes!



So how about some pretty crocus, generally the first flower to show itself in my garden.  This image is sure to brighten your day, and can be found here for purchase and download.

I've gone with my copics once again, cutting and matting with my Spellbinders Labels Two die.  The dp is from the GCD Studios Ella Blue collection, and I've used Idea-Ology Tissue Tape for the top and bottom of the card.  All accents are cut from a purple glitter paper.  The butterflies use a Cheery Lynn die, and I've backed these with vellum.  The sentiment uses a Whimsy die, which I have mounted on white and then dark brown for a shadow effect.

Well, I do hope I've given you a taste of spring, and now you need to head on over to Gaynor's blog to see what wonderful creation she has to share.

Thanks so much for visiting and have a wonderful day!

And now a few challenges for my card:

Dies to Die For - Spring
2 Sisters Challenge - #137 Sparkle and Shine
613 Avenue Create - #12 Flowers
Fussy and Fancy - #85 Spring Days
