Colour my World

I decided to put the tag I made a few weeks ago to good use....it took some time but at last I am happy with the result :)......I'm such a fussy crafter!!! LOL



...over at A Spoonful of Sugar the theme this week is Easter..."make something inspired by Easter" .....well Easter has to include daffodils for me...I just noticed this morning that my tete a tete ones are in flower....didn't see them there yesterday I'm sure!!!

I stamped the full Popcorn stamp in Impress chocolate onto white card and used it as the background to attach the coloured tag to.....see here for a run down on the colours used.

....created the sentiment block on the computer....inked the flowers and scrolls with a combo of DI's scattered straw, spiced marmalade, rusty hinge, pine needles and shabby shutters......adding the little wording stamp used on Popcorn's tag to the petals of the largest flower.......stamped a little flower all over the base card and layered everything up....although I've used brads to hold the flower layers together I glued them to the card with silicone to get different heights.

I've sent this off to Crafters Companion to say thank you for donating the fabulous set of popcorn stamps and CD's I won as Craft Stamper of the Year (have I mentioned that before? HOL).

Thanks for looking and thank you again Crafters Companion for donating the prize....happy stamping.

xoxo Sioux

P.S. Thanks for your well wishes yesterday...I & DH very much appreciate them....I did not find the time last night to visit everyone......so sorry! And time may be in short supply for a while with hospital visits as I'm afraid he will have to be admitted as soon as...like tomorrow!!

    Thanks for your answer ...think i might have to buy one.

    That card is a work of art and I can see how much thought has gone into it ...those colours are so perfect and the flowers just had to be just there.

    Lastly ...I am sorry to hear about your husband and I hope everything goes well ...as I have only just found you I do not know the history ... Take care ...both of you.xx

    This is pretty. The colours work really well and it's a very spring like card. I love daffs, too :)

    Hope your hubbie is soon better - health can be such a worry.

    As for the fairies ATCs, with all you have going on in your life at the moment, it's little wonder. Don't fret!

    what an absolutely fab card - all the little detailing is so great. Best wishes to your hubby and other relatives - nice cards but sad to have to make three at once.
    thanks for the info too - I had a very early (33) natural menopause so will be aware.
