Crafty Catz DT - Spring Time

Morning all,
 
Another Friday, another new challenge at Crafty Catz. Another bumper crop of entries for last week's challenge, so don't forget to pop back tomorrow to see if you're a winner. On to this weeks challenge though and the theme has been set by Janette who would like to see you make something on the theme of Spring Time
 
This week we have two fab sponsor's: Bugaboo and Crafty Ribbons
7 images of winners choice

 
So on with my card:
The foundation for this weeks card was some fantastic freebie floral tags I discovered on pinterest from a lovely blog call Lilac and Lavender. You can find the tags here. Once I'd settled that I was using them, I then set about working out the card. I created my own tag template base card, using some textured recycled cardstock in a pinky purple that matches perfectly. I then messed with the tags and printed the darling bugaboo image onto one, before printing her again on letraset paper to colour, this ensured that the finer details wouldn't be lost. I then added a sentiment on to a second tag which reads 'In the midst of our lives, we must find the magic that makes our souls sour'
 
I coloured the image with promarkers in; Blush, Honeycomb, Burnt Orange, Blossom and Amethyst. I then punched out some MS butterflies and coloured the white cardstock with versmagic ink in Thatched Straw and Perfect Plumeria and then I accented the butterflies and the tags with stickles in Platinum and Copper.
 
I hope you like it, totally different for me but I love it simplicity. Don't forget to stop by the other girls fabulous blogs to see their stunning creations.
 
Until next time - happy crafting!
