A Celebration In Spring

  Hello!

Welcome to my little crafting place! 
Here's where I share the things I've been making, and sometimes other bits of waffle!
Today is Daring Cardmakers day and at last it's time to

Celebrate Spring
There's blossom on the trees, the daffodils are out - it's even beginning to get warmer at last!
So this week make a card to celebrate Spring.
Think Easter, Eid, Spring colours, Tulips, Daffodils, New growth
Create anything you like cards, tags, or 3D project.

Its up to you!

I chose to make my card for one of the Spring celebrations as in the UK Mothers Day always falls in March

Also I wanted to make something using goodies from a couple of the March Spellbinders club kits, and a couple of other new SB die sets which have recently arrived on my desk

I made this wax seal using three layers of wax - I used the Pour and Scrape technique for the yellow patterned layer, then stamped this into pale aqua wax and trimmed off the excess wax around the sel stamp. Finally I poured pink wax to stamp the decoraed section into.  

The pattern on this month's seal lends itself really well to adding further embellishments and I made a couple of seals adding tiny gems in different ways, this one has gems on the crossovers on the pattern, I've another to share where I put the gems into the circles on the pattern. 

'Mum' comes from the March Glimmer of the Month, it features lots of lovely little messages (with die to cut them neatly) to let family and friends know they are appreciated.  It also has a script Mum. Mom, Dad set, with a cutting die to match - it's lovely that Spellbinders have included MUM for us non-Americans!
