Card "Rose Lily" by Jackie - Ambassador

 A flowery Spring greeting to you today!

Are you enjoying Spring? I know I am! 

I used Rose Lily from the Nature Collection and coloured it up with markers and pencils. I layered it on its back on the dividing line for a different approach. All these vibrant colours make me so happy! Don't forget, find beauty in the ordinary.

#353 For Baby (or kid's card)

 

 Here is my take on the theme this time at  Cut It Up Challenge. Our theme is "For Baby" Please enter your makes here.

I took a liberty as this card was made for Twins! The daughter of our next door neighbour recently had twins, A boy and a girl. They chose Not to know the gender/s until birth for the surprise element. So, not knowing I decided to make a White on White card using my Sizzix dies. It ended up looking very classy and I may replicate it in the future but probably just for one baby.
