Floral Frenzy

   Hello

Welcome to my little crafting place!  I'm sharing this week’s card for the Daring Cardmakers challenge today. The chance to look ahead to Spring was not to be missed! I’m not a fan of Winter and admit to having a tendency to hibernate so looking out for the brave shots of Spring bulbs and waiting for that time you feel  some warmth in the sun for the first time is important to me. Anyway,…

Our host this time is Shabneez and her theme is

Floral Frenzy!

A new year also means a new Pantone colour of the year, and 2024 

is the year of Peach Fuzz!
So to celebrate this new focus colour, I want to see you use 

peach tones on your card in some way.

I’ve a few tulip dies in my collection so I was able to use a couple to make cutting this lot out a bit quicker. First though I inked some scraps of card with bright tulip shades and some green for the stems and leaves and set them aside to dry. While looking for those card scraps I came across a piece of ready printed wood effect Bazzill card left over from another project. It made a lovely background, along with some fine corrugated Kraft card. 

Just in case you’re interested - my corrugated card is actually  the trays from Tesco Finest croissants - the top layer of brown paper comes away really easily after a quick spray with some water to reveal the fine ribbing between the layers. Most packaging is too thick but this stuff is perfect!

The pots are cut using a die from a lovely Spellbinders set. 

When I create anew sentiment on the pc I usually print at least 2 versions in different fonts or sizes so I already had this one in my zippy bag of such things!  

I don’t know why I get such a buzz from using ‘saved’ stuff when it happens, but I do!

Probably because it just makes me feel better about keeping all the stuff that  “might come in handy one day”

Thank you so much for coming by
