Floral Silhouette

 A floral card to share today, CAS style using up a piece of card left over from one of my inky play sessions.  I added a bit of stencilling to make it a bit more interesting and then cut out a circle and glued it to a white card, adding a narrow white frame around.  The floral spray was die cut twice from black card and layered together for extra stability.  The final touch was a matching black sentiment and a few tiny gems.

April at Stamping Sensations

 The Theme this month at Stamping Sensations is **anything goes** and there is also a mood board for extra inspiration. I've used the daisy image which is echoed in my choice of background paper for this Spring garden card.The greenhouse and foliage have been stamped and I've added various die cut elements to complete the scene.  As usual there is a lovely prize for the person whose name is drawn at the end of the challenge.

Allsorts Challenge #776

 The theme for the current challenge at Allsorts is **Spring** and I'm certainly happy to note that it seems to have arrived at last - two consecutive days with sunshine and NO rain 😊.   I think this card with its planter tub filled with crocus should fit the bill so I'm popping along with it.  There are great prizes too with winners announced monthly so why not break out your Spring-themed crafty stash and have a go.  There is always the 'anything goes' option too.
