Spring and Spin

Hello!

Just a quick post from me to share a few creations that I have been able to put together today. 

First up is a card for Time Out where they are celebrating their 2nd birthday.  Sandie and Nonni have created a really fun challenge blog with fab inspiration.  Happy Birthday!  This time the challenge is spring with the optional twist of masking. 


I have used my favourite spring flowers on this one layer design - the tulips are from Penny Black and I have masked them to create a colourful border.  They are watercoloured with distress inks.  The sentiment is from Altenew.

Secondly I have made a card to play along at CASology where the cue card is Spin.  It gave me the opportunity to play with a new die for me from Memory Box combined with a new stamp from MFT. 

 
As the die and stamp are new I will play along with Darnell's NBUS Challenge for a 2nd time.
 
Never-Before-Used-Schtuff (Stamps, Dies, EFs, etc.)
 
That's it for tonight.  I hope you stop by again soon!

    2 brilliant cards Sarah. The colouring on the tulips is fab and the delicate shaded drop shadow makes them pop right off the page. Your baby card is just adorable.
    Hugs, Sharon xx

    Two wonderful cards--the first one is stunning with all those beautiful spring flowers. And, what a sweet baby card--that mobile reminds me of earlier days gone by. Thanks so much for playing along at Time Out and CASology this week.

    Your tulips are beautiful, Sarah! So perfect for spring! But when I saw that baby mobile in the NBUS gallery, I sighed! Another must-have! It is so adorable and I love when a single die has a huge impact on a card! The sediment size and font fit it perfectly!! Hugs, Darnell

    Both cards are gorgeous Sarah! The tulip card is my fave - the watercolouring just brings them to life! I love tulips in the spring - I can't wait for mine to start coming out! It is great to see you at Time Out! Jill
