Gosh we've had some lovely weather here! Lots of Spring flowers are blooming and I made a little batch of Easter cards:
I used:
- SU's 'Always Artichoke' card stock to make A6 sized cards
- pre-coloured images from LOTV's fabulous 'Wildflowers' Art Pad, die cut using a Nesties Labels Eight die
Yup, they were made in next to no time, but with love and the images really didn't need anything more than a good strong background colour for the cards plus 'Always Artichoke' is a huge favourite of mine.
There are some colours I do like to keep a decent stock of, 'Always Artichoke', 'Certainly Celery', 'Real Red', 'Wisteria Wonder' and 'Smoky Slate' in particular. They seem to go with so many images and patterned papers I have here. Snigger, I'd like tons of them all really :)

Happy Easter to you both! Your little grandchildren will be getting pretty excited by now to see what the Easter Bunny brings!
ReplyDeleteThese are 4 really pretty cards. I had not seen these pretty toppers before...they are fabulous! Perfect for die cutting and putting straight to card!
They demonstrate "spring on a card" perfectly Di!! My bluebells are just about to break now, so it really is spring!! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely springy cards Di. Happy Easter to you and your family x
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely Di. X Happy Easter to you and yours .

Just catching up on your fab cards you have made Di sorry I've had a cold and had no energy lol but really pretty cards you have made and as for the pearly dots lesson I wouldn't know where to start because I just do it LOL no technique involved just plop them on hahaha lots of huggles Sue xx
ReplyDeleteGorgous cards Di, those LOTV toppers are so gorgous (more for my wish list) xx
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Di. Very springlike. Off to finish putting craft room back in order!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely Di - love the base card colour... might have to have a spendie!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Di, and you're right, they need absolutely nothing else at all. Back to the baking... I like they way they sell butter in America, instead of being a one pound slab, each box contains four individually wrapped 4oz pieces, each piece is known as a stick of butter. Useful really, cause you can leave most of it in the fridge and only take out a bit at a time. We plan on doing our yearly detox again, so it will be a quiet weekend with no Easter eggs or chocolate for us!! Oh, and the rest of the lemon buns went in a flash too, there's non left, lol!

Good camera work. Just like IRL 😉 Dee xxx
ReplyDeleteDi these are simply gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteGreat quickie cards! Perfect for Easter or for spring.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Di. Love the posies of wildflowers and they look great on the aubergine card. I think we may all have favourites when it comes to cardstock colours ... I know I always like to have teal, kraft and green in my stash. Hope you've had a good day. Hugs, Elizabeth xx
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny
ReplyDeleteA rabbits a bunny
Banana's have skins
And bee's make honey.
I have hardly ever made an Easter card,
Just one for the past 2 years.
Between you and me, I am glad I don't live in America as they seem to make cards for everything.
These are lovely, I am looking forward to going to the LOTV 10th Birthday party in May.
Have a really lovely Easter, we are not doing anything special.

Hello Di,
ReplyDeleteCertainly Celery is one of my favorites too. I haven't ordered anything from SU in ages.
The cards look great. I think you bought that die cut while in NM at Hobby Lobby? I know I bought one.
I hope you and Len have a wonderful Easter.
Hugs,
Kay
Just gorgeous! Happy Easter to you!
ReplyDeleteSo very elegant Di, love the toppers and the colours of the card are fab! Karen x
