Spring has Sprung at Magical Mondays!

Good morning all in blogland,
Thank you for stopping by I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I had a great day crafting yesterday with my mum and did loads of brainstorming for new and exciting classes to run in the shop.
Well it's that time again, time for another fabulous challenge over at Magical Mondays. There were loads of amazing entries for our last 'Lace' challenge so I hope to see lots of entries for todays challenge. This time we want to see 'Springtime' colours so dig out those fresh florals and pretty prints but remember you must use a magical image to be in with a chance to win. This week we have a sheet of 'Sweet Pea' stamps up for grabs which have kindly been donated by our very own Jayne, thanks hunny!!


so for my DT creation I decided to make a tealight holder card and went ultra 'springy' with my green and yellow (yes yellow! as many of you know yellow is not my first choice) dotty dp's. The gorgeous cutie is from LOTV AND as usual I coloured her with Promarkers. The lacey border was created with a fab EK Success deep edger punch then as you can see I went a little mad with flowers and finished with a metal charm, stardust stickles on the wings and a sprinkling of tiny pearls.


I almost forgot the fab sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts and one of my very favourites.
I am entering this in the following challenges:
Simon Says - 'No Cook Recipe' 1 Image, 2 dp's and 3 Embellishments (Charm, Flowers, Pearls)
Passion for Promarkers - #89 'Sugar Rush' (super girly I took the 'use as many flowers as you like' a bit literally!)
By the Cute and Girly - 'Springtime'
Stampin for the Weekend - #5 'Springtime'
Cute Card Thursday - #154 'Signs of Spring'
The Crafty Pad - #111 'Use a Ribbon'
Bunny Zoes Crafts - #9 'Spring Flowers Everywhere!'

Promarker Colour Recipe:
Skin: Blush, Dusky Pink
Hair: Ivory, Buttercup, Tulip Yellow, Gold
Top: Meadow Green, Apple, Buttercup, Tulip Yellow
Tutu: Buttercup, Tulip Yellow
Shoes: Meadow Green, Apple, Sandstone

Happy Stamping
Hugs

  20. Wow - This card is stunning - so beautiful, you must have worked for some time on this. The colours are just lovely, the layout is fab. I think the idea of putting a gift in the card like this, takes card making to a whole new dimension!
