Spring Time with April Daisy - Crafty Catz DT Card

Good afternoon well the sun is trying its best to say hello. Gosh when are we getting some summer the children will be breaking up for the long holiday soon.

Well I am here to share with you my DT card for Crafty Catz which is sponsored by 

Our theme has been picked this week by the lovely Dianne and she is wanting some

SPRING TIME

For my card I have used an image called April - Daisy from our sponsor.

 I have used my Promarkers to colour her.

All DP is from a oddments box yet again. Embossed my base card with a Couture creations folder- Grand Jo Jo. Lace and Ribbon from stash. Flowers have been made with a punch and raspbury memento ink and some liquid Pearls added to make some lovely pearl centres. 

A fairly CAS card with clean lines. Was fairly pleased with how this turned out. What do you think leave me a comment I love to read them. Do you like. Do you think i captured the Spring Feel with the Daisies. I can see me using this at Christmas with looks of glitter and the daisies turning to Michaelmas Daisies.

Thanks for popping by hope you will come and play along with us again this week.

So i have a few picture to share with you

This is the from. Computer generated sentiment with Die cut numbers.

DP is actually some wrapping paper that was in a book. Die is a Joanna sheen

Next is the inside showing the POPUP. images coloured with my promarkers and dies are joanna sheen and tonic Birthday sentiment
