Cheerful Daffodils for Mother's Day

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going? I am a bit late posting today as I had an Open Reach engineer here most of the morning trying to sort out the problems with our internet. Hopefully it is working properly now only time will tell.

You know I like to get ahead with my cards. So today I made a Mother's Day card. They are fine to share as neither of our Mothers do Social Media of any kind.

The backing papers I had in my stash. 

This is a signature die. 

I cut the Spring Daffodil dies from Creative Expressions and I decided to put them in pots which I cut with Spellbinder dies. 

For the corners I used the Cottage Garden die that came with Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine last year. 

I had a lovely piece of news my blog (yes this one) was featured in the Sally's Ones to Watch section of the February issue on Making Cards Magazine. 

I hope you enjoy the rest of the week. Being the start of the month I will be back with two blog posts tomorrow. It does get busy in Blogland at the beginning of the month. 

Happy Crafting

Fantasy Stampers - Flower Power

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

The weekend is here. I wonder what you have planned? We are seeing our daughter and her fiancé to celebrate my birthday which is on Monday. We will be hat shopping, for the wedding in July, seeing a film and having a meal. The weather should be nice which is a plus.

Today a new challenge starts on the Fantasy Stampers Challenge blog and the  theme is Flower Power

I used the Fushia Spray stamp by Woodware. I must admit that I bought this stamp with the idea of using my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens and that is what I did. 

I stamped the image with Black Archival ink onto water colour  before colouring it with the pens. 

The sentiment is a Lily of the Valley stamp that came free with a magazine sometime ago. 

If you check back on the Fantasy Stamper Challenge Blog tomorrow the winners of the last challenge will be announced. 

I would like to enter the May Challenge at the Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog, May Challenge at Crafting By Designs, the Make it  Take it May challenge at the Craft Stamper Magazine , Coloring Challenge at the Seize the Birthday Challenge Blog and the May Challenge at the Classic Design Team Open Challenge.

Have a great weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie
