Easter eggs and butterflies

Another Easter card using a piece of K & Co daffodil paper - the paper is so pretty that it doesn't need much added, so a couple of Easter eggs and tiny flowers from Poundland and three lovely shiny butterflies with pearls added for a bit more bling, plus papermania sentiment stamp.

Another Easter card

This is another card that I made yesterday. This time I've used a piece of K & Co daisy pad paper (I've had a completely new pad of this in stock for years), torn and layered on to a piece of My mind's eye spring paper. The line of gems was from Poundland and the embroidered flowers were bought from a market stall in Eastbourne last year - almost too beautiful to use.

Prima botanical

Prima botanical is the name of the background paper I've used for this Easter card, the sentiment stamp is Papermania inked with memento rich cocoa and the flowers were from Create and Craft. The butterfly stamp is one of my favourites - swirling wings by Lindsay Mason - with just a few little pearls added to match the organza and pearls flowers.

Happy Easter

Today I made a start on making Easter cards - need to make a lot before my charity sale Saturday week - managed to make six today and this is the first one. I dug out some very old K & Co papers - this one is taken from the 'daffodil' pad, mounted on to a card blank with a ready cut fancy edge (got some of these at Hobbycraft when I had a 25% off voucher - wish I'd bought more) distressed with shabby shutters DI. The decoupaged paper flowers are Docrafts (bought last year and not used then). Sentiment (from a Forever Friends set of stamps) inked with memento rich cocoa.
