Spring / Easter at CRAFT Challenge


Please read my Data Protection and Privacy Policy – (page tab above)
Good Morning,
                         Here we are at the end of March and who knows what the net few months will bring. Thank goodness for crafting and the fact that we are lucky enough to have a garden.
                        To everyone out there stay safe, show compassion for each other and support each other via social networking, phone etc.
It’s time for our new challenge at
This week the theme is …
Spring / Easter
We have two fabulous sponsors this week.
For my card I was lucky enough to work with this fabulous image called Happy Easter from QKR


As soon as I saw this image it screamed out easel card.
I used my cricut machine to create the base card and layers.
I then coloured the image with Promarkers and finally added a stopper using a carrot element from a digital scrapbooking kit.
The image is enough I think without embellishments.

For further inspiration check out my fellow DT members’ projects -they are fantastic.

Good Morning,

It’s Thursday again and time for a new challenge at 
This week the theme is …
Anything Goes
We have a fabulous new sponsor this week.
For my card I chose this adorable set called May Flowers

The image is coloured using Promarkers and the sentiment was added on the PC.

Good Morning Crafty Peeps,

I have coloured both images using Promarkers, but as with all Jan’s sets there are pre-coloured images if colouring isn’t your thing or if you are short of time.
The papers are from the Nitwits Ouchies set – here
