The First Sign of Spring.

Snowdrops are supposed to be the first sign of Spring. Nobody's told my garden that as I haven't seen one yet but I have got miniature daffodils in bloom. Anyway I decided to make a spring like card for the new challenge at Cardz for Galz, which is to use Kraft.

I stamped the image from Uniko in dark green then coloured it with pencils. I added a nice fresh green ribbon to ground it. No sentiment as I'll add one when I decide who I am using it for.

 

Digitally Sweet #79 Black and White and One Other Colour

Welcome to another week at Digitally Sweet and this week the challenge is Black and White and one other colour.  We are sponsored by Lunagirl who has produced some fabulous images for us to work with.  I chose some snowdrops and a gorgeous brightly coloured butterfly.

 

 I used the image faded out on the background paper which is from a Daisy Trail digikit (sorry can't remember which one now - I should write these posts as soon as I've finished creating instead of later !). I made the paper more transparent too.  Mounted the image onto a green circle matted with black and added the butterflies (all done digitally). I thought it would make a nice Mother's Day card even though I no longer have a mother to give it too. (Mind you she would have hated it as she was very superstitious about the colour green and wouldn't have it in the house if she could help it. She did have to come to terms with it a bit though as my last school had a green uniform - which I hated as well!)
