Laurie’s Garden Angel

Welcome Everyone;

May is now here and buds on some bushes and trees are starting to bloom.  It is also time to start thinking and how to re-establish the grass and flowerbeds and the planning of the vegetable garden.

For today’s card which is a CAS one, I have used the adorable Laurie’s Garden Angel from High Hopes Stamps.  What’s more I have gone out of my comfort zone.  I don’t use yellow often, except maybe for flowers and never to colour  clothes — those are usually, pinks, a rose colour etc.  So Laurie’s outfit in a combination of yellow and blue is a definite first.  I definitely like the combo.  I used Nuvo Morning Dew Crystal Drops to create some crystal drops on the design paper.

Guest Designer Special Request

I recently had a special request from a friend that was on my current design team to participate in their wonderful blog as a guest designer.

Karen Day from Inspired by All the Little Things asked me to post something that I was inspired by from the following photo:

For me a window box full of colourful flowers means that spring is here and that summer is almost here as well. Also spring signifies a new beginning as flowers and plants start to grow and then bloom for the rest of the summer.

The stamp is “Pansy Window Box Frame” which is from High Hopes Stamps, was coloured with Copic Sketch Markers. I trimmed the image down and used a 1/2′” corner rounder.  Rhinestones were added to the center of the flowers.  The paper is from Heartfelt Creations Butterfly Melody Collection.
