Spring has Sprung

It was a lovely sight today - the blossoms seemed to all pop up overnight (not quite, but you know what I mean LOL)

Pity about the white balance being wrong !!! 

that's what I get for not checking the camera before taking shots!

A cow of a card ;-)

I had some fun with my CraftROBO during the week and decided to submit a card for the challenge 37 shaped card over on CraftyCatz.

I found some cute free clip art  HERE and had a fun few hours experimenting with the print & cut features of the CraftROBO

The inside is some lovely big rubon words

my challenge card - 4 challenges

I have certainly been inspired to mix it up this week and have put together one card for FOUR challenges. I didn't set out to do it this way, it just happened.

Layout came from Stamp_Something, using the one colour came from Cute_Daisy_May, main theme is from Just_Magnolia, and the finishing touches of pearls are from ABC

Image stamped on white bazzil and coloured in with watercolour pencils, highlighted with chalks & kindyglitz & pearls. Stamped image was layered on SU Brocade Blue??, sentiment tag highlighted with pearls and rub-on sentiment, image & tag were attached using mounting dots. Butterfly rub-on was placed on white cardstock, cut out and attached using mounting tape and highlighted with kindy glitz. Blue ribbon attached with white brads, placed across middle, silver stickers placed in each corner and highlighted with a pearl.

I enjoyed putting this one together - as I said above, I did not start out to combine challenges.

I did start with the Magnolia challenge of animal & insects (butterfly), I coloured in the Magnolia image and decided to stick with blues, and realised it would fit the Daisy May challenge. I decided to use the layout from Stamp Something, then I was on a roll! The idea of using pearls instead of my usual bling to highlight came as I was putting the finishing touches on the card, thus fitting the ABC challenge.

It almost became a challenge to see how many challenges I could submit this card to LOL

anyone know of any more it would fit? LOL
