DT Design for Crafty Bloggers Network # Challenge15 'Springtime'

Crafty Bloggers Network Challenge this week is 'Springtime', pop on over and take a peek at what the DT have been up to and come join in the fun !!

My favourite season is just around the corner and as a Florist I love filling my home with Spring flowers ........ but I couldn't wait.... so I made a wreath for you all to have a look at :o))

As for the ingredients used on this project ...... well it was all scrap pieces of card, Tattered Florals die (Sir Tim's), Sizzix die Flowers 3-D,
Glossy Accents, Mustard Seed Distress Ink, Chocolate Baroque's The Rose Tree stamp set..... oh n bits of straw !!

The Butterfly Ball

I found this little wooden tray in the back of a cupboard and originally I was going to Steampunk it up ..... but the weather's been so lovely the past few days it's had me dreaming of warm hazy days sat in the garden were the pretty lil winged beasties come and play :o)

It's all made from scrap pieces of card, the frame was painted with acrylic paints in green, dry brushed over the top with white and then inked gently with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink.

The stamps are from IndigoBlu... Nature 1, Poppy Meadow, Wild Meadow and Chocolate Baroque... The Rose Tree.

The Butterflies were just stamped with different colour inks and coated in Glossy Accents.

It was just fun to make, hope it makes you smiley :o)
