Spring is in the Air

  .... well that's what some people, somewhere in the world are saying 'cause it's not here!!!!  It's more like winter brrrrrr!
Anyway, to bring a little colour into my life I made this card for my mammy's birthday today.  I dug out (literally) my Euphoria paper pad, a pad that I haven't used for ages and I forgot just how much I love it.

Stamp: Lili of the Valley patchwork daisy
Paper: BasicGrey euphoria paper pad
Ink: Memento
Accessories: Prima flowers, Prima pearls, Copics, X-cut paper crimper , computer generated sentiment.

I'm playing along with the following challenges:
BasicGrey - Spring Colours

Lili of the Valley

I love this image from Lili of the Valley, the cat is adorable. My cat is poorly tonight, there's something wrong with his leg, so I'm going to try and take him to the vets tomorrow. When I say he's my cat, he's not really. He just turned up one day and decided to stay, and he's still very wild, so I think it's going to be fun and games tomorrow!! I'm entering this card into the following challenges: Creative Stamp Friends - challenge 17 shapes Paperminutes - challenge 150 flowers Stamp Something - cute Basic Grey - challenge 36 flower power Cutie Sunday - challenge 128 anything goes Wow, that's a few!
