Beautiful Bluebells

Good Morning my lovely crafty friends.

I hope you all had a good Easter weekend. My children have all returned to school and college this morning, I am already missing them, the house is just too quiet.

Anyway, recently I was lucky to see a field full of stunning Bluebells, so lovely it almost took my breath away. Inspired by this I wanted to make a card featuring these beautiful flowers but with just one problem, I don't own any Bluebell stamps! Then I remembered that the gorgeous Fresh Flowers stamp set I recent bought from Clearly Besotted Stamps includes a Lily of the Valley image which looks fairly similar - hopefully ?!

As you can see, I have gone for a CAS design this time not wanting to distract from the image, using the fabulous sketch from this week's Sketch Saturday challenge.

Items Used:

Stamp - Clearly Besotted Fresh Flowers coloured with Promarkers and white gel pen

Sentiment - Clearly Besotted It's your Birthday (masked off the 'Happy')

Dies - Happy Word Die - Clearly Besotted Stamps

Die-Namics Pierced Rectangle Stax

Doodlebug Sprinkles Lily White

Less Is More -  Makes Me smile - Bluebells are so beautiful, I love the colour, they make me think of Springtime which is my favourite season and I always smile when I see them!  However, I am not sure if there is enough 'white' space on my card so please delete if necessary!
Sketch Saturday  - Fabulous Sketch
Clearly Besotted - Spring!
MAWTT - Include the word Happy!

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop and look at my card today. I really do appreciate it and love to read any comments you may wish to make.

bye for now

Good morning to you all my wonderful crafty friends.

Thank you for your kind comments on my cards yesterday. 

I can hardly believe that it is the first of September already and my children go back to school and college next week. I am really going to miss them, we have had a wonderful Summer together.

Anyway, today is the start of a new A Little Bit Crafty Challenge

The design team were very lucky to be able to pick an image from one of the sponsors so I chose the gorgeous Floral Watering Can from Delicious Doodles

To try and add a bit of interest, I used my Spellbinders Edgeabilities Classic Scallop to shape the bottom edge of my card and embossed some lines using my Hougie Board.
