We’re having some lovely warm sunny weather in the middle of France, so it’s easy to believe it will soon be Easter.  We bbqed, for the first time this year, yesterday – I don’t think we’ve ever done it so early before – something pleasant in the midst of all the sad news.              I made this Easter card for one of my grandchildren, using Spring Duck 2 from Bugaboo Stamps.  The image is coloured with Promarkers and die cut with a stitched rectangle die and a fancy corner die.  The fence and sun are die cut and the sentiment is computer generated.

I don’t often make fancy fold cards but I used this fold a few weeks ago and really liked it – so decided to make another card with it.  I used the digi image, Little Butterfly Girl from All Dressed Up, coloured it with Promarkers and Copics and added Stickles Star Dust to the wings.  I use a lot of pink on my cards but my favourite colour has always been blue – I even wanted blue sandals when I was little.  The die cut sentiment, butterfly cluster and tiny butterflies are all embossed and the flowers are from my stash.

I couldn’t resist making another card with my Lavinia stamps.  I distressed the background and stamped Spring Trees, Fairy Dust Silhouette, mini Slender Mushrooms and a mini Flutterby.  The wings on the fairy and butterflies were glittered with Stickles Crystal and the tiny green gems are from my stash.

I really like the Lavinia stamps but don’t use them often enough, so I decided it was time I inked some of them up.  I distressed the background for this card and used these Lavinia stamps – Spring Trees, Fairy House, miniature Dragon and miniature Slender Mushrooms.  I used white and silver pens on the Fairy House and added lilac Liquid Pearls and Stickles Crystal to it.

We’ve have so much rain lately I just can’t wait to see the sun again – so my sentiment on this card is a plea for summer to come quickly..!!  I made an easel card using a Bugaboo digi – Ladybug Line – and coloured it with Promarkers.  The small butterflies were punched and the gems and tiny pearls are from my stash.  There is a red gem heart on the largest ladybug, where the heart is drawn, but it’s not showing up well in the photo.
