Card "Flow No 2" by Jackie - Ambassador

 

Hello and are you ready for Spring and all things green and flowery? I know I am!! It has been such a grey and very wet Winter for us here in the UK that we CRAVE to see some colour and light. So if you don't have that yet, then feast your eyes on this colourful card!

I used Flow no 2 from the Nature collection and coloured it up with markers and pencils. Pretty frame dies, papers, ribbon and a word die were used to finish the card and I am happy it's bright and cheerful, are you?

#349 This Makes Me Happy

  Here is my take on the theme this time at  Cut It Up Challenge. Our theme is "This Makes Me Happy" Please enter your makes here.

I used this oh, so cute hummingbird die. It makes me happy as we have such happy memories of staying in a Bed & Breakfast in El Portal Yosemite with Liz & Ron. It was the Blue Butterfly Inn. Their balcony had bird feeders and were always full of these sweet birds. We don't have them in the Uk, so are utterly fascinated by them.

I used frame dies, a word die and a lovely BG paper with gems.
