Cottonberry Creations: Spring card

Spring card

Our garden has produced an array of lovely spring flowers with the help of the recent sunshine and showers This prompted me to make this card for the many Spring challenges this week. I used an apt and lovely digi image from the digi web studio. I did some paper piercing on the edge of my card and the central layer. I did some faux stitching round the edge as this is my favourite technique. I used a few mats and layers of different spring colours, edging made with my Martha stuart punch and some square brads. I finished off my card by punching and adding a few mini dragonflies. I have listed all the challenges I have entered below. Thank you to everyone who has left lovely comments on my blog and I wish you all a very happy Sring/Easter. If you are out and about this Easter , don't forget your brolly!
