Spring with Angelica and Friends

Well its all about springtime over at TRY IT ON TUESDAY , something which we have being having with these Aprils showers , we could do what ever we wanted that made us think of spring and for me that's flowers and I already had this stamp ready to colour and also wanted to use two colours I do not normally put together which is green and purple ok maybe not very spring colours but as the image I have used is of a fairy picking flowers thought maybe could get away with it lol.

To make my card I used my hoggie board to make a embossed background , which I then coloured with chalks from Dove crafts , the ribbon down the side of the card is plated with left over bits to make the bow and they come from my stash , I then coloured in my image from crafter's companion with Pm's .

So guess I better say who's blog I am on about well its Less is More and for the this month they have The Ribbon Girl

And to top me coming back into the world of less is more they have one of my fave colours as the theme which is Turquoise

Have also gone with a one layer card and for it I used a stamp from Clarity and used a Tim Holtz distress pen for my hint of turquoise , not sure if needs anything else , so please let me know what you think. Thanks for looking x

Who's a pretty boy then

As you can tell I have really got back into the blogging bug . especially with the weather been so pants today and I also needed a very chilled day as yesterday I had my boyfriends son over who had so much energy , think he took mine to lol.
Maybe I should of gone with a monkey for the wildlife theme at My Time To Craft  but instead went with a parrot .

I know this is a very simple card , but trying very hard to use up all my bits and bobs before buying new goodies as things are starting to over flow in my craft room lol
So the goodies I used are card from bits box , topper is a postcard that was sent to me many moons ago and message that I got from Lakeland when they used to do craft goodies , so shows how long I have had that for lol.

I am sorry if I keep going on about how much I have missed blogging , but it is so nice to be back in blog land as it so helps when my mojo is on a walk about , which it always seems to do when boys/ or men's cards are needed and plus I like a colour theme as it gives me colours I do not normally use together .
Oh heck I am off on a ramble , sure its lack of sleep making my mind go funny , well time for me to get onto the sponsor who is A Creative Need and Denna will give the winner 3 digi images .
