Here we are on the brink of the Easter weekend. It's finally spring all over. The sun is shinning (I hope) and the April showers are about to give way to May flowers. And that's our challenge this fortnight over at
Fairy Fun Fridays. I could have gone the April showers route, but for my card I chose flowers and used this
delightful lily image from The Prairie Fairy. I was going to try to make it white so it was an Easter lily, but felt the card needed the color. So I just have a pretty spring lily. I was inspired to use the Mojo Monday sketch as a starting point. Everything else is pretty simple - no special techniques here, just a pretty shabby chic style card using paper lace and sweet posy appliques from my new
Etsy shop. And you can get some undyed seam binding there to. Great stuff and so fun to custom dye to match your project. I dyed this seam binding with my So Saffron reinker. I have a
tutorial here on dying the crinkly seam binding. All the card stock (Bordering Blue and Whisper White) and designer papers are from SU. Sorry, but I don't remember the name of the designer paper pack, but it's from a couple of years ago and it's retired now.
That's the scoop on this one. Hope you will play along with a April Showers or May Flowers themed project this fortnight at
Fairy Fun Fridays. Thanks again for stopping by and heartfelt thanks for your lovely comments. It so inspires me to hear that you like my work.
