Spring Flowers at Creative Inspirations

Hello there! Well how are you today? I had another good go at the gym yesterday - did my 30 lengths in the pool (thats 750m) and then had a short sit in the jacuzzi before heading out to my mum and dads - this was a really nice tuesday morning and if I join this will become a regular fixture I think!

Onto today - well its time for those spring flowers over at cinspirationsCreative Inspirations - I made my card using some paint fusion stamps from Sheena but I've just coloured them with spectrum noirs.


I've embossed the gold around the edges too and also in the sweet pea title. I love sweet peas - with any luck the garden will be full of them this year - loads have germinated so just got to hope that they start to flower before the end of may!


I love the fact that the stamp set includes one with all those curly bits on - so true to life!

I'd like to enter this card into pennyschallenges- pastels

So to join in all you need to do is include some flowers on your creations!

thats gotta be worth having!

I've got one more thing to share with you before I go - its a tag I've made with the oriental theme in mind over at allsorts:



more sheena stamps - the background is made using distress paints - dusty concorde, seedless preserves and the gold one - is it brass? I forget - but lots of fun to do anyway! I'd like to enter this ito the oriental challenge at allsortschallenge.

Big Hugs and hope to see you soon - thanks for your visit today!
