Make it Crafty spring hop!!

I know its hard to believe but we are meant to be in spring now!!  Maybe if we keep making pretty spring things and wishing it was here we might see a change in the weather soon..... who knows!! 

Over at MIC we are celebrating spring by 'hopping' through a few of our blogs trying to get into the 'Spring' of things!!


Barbara - forgottenscraps.blogspot.com



I had some fun with one of my favourite MIC backgrounds here..... This is Daffodil Dell ... I use this loads!  It is a great digi to have in your collection.  Now I was very brave and tried something new that I had been putting off for a while and surprisingly enough it was easier than I thought..... maybe that is because Tracy from Crafteezee has written the best tutorial on doing this!!  



I merged the digital background with 'Tilda with Big Tulip pot'..... she is one of my newest magnolias and you all know my slight obsession with them!!   The paper I used for the rolled flowers and the butterflies was made using a mixture of  Turquoise Blue, Fully Purple and Sweet Pea Tattered Angels Cosmic Shimmer sprays.  I then used the 'On the edge' Butterflight die from Tim Holts and a rolled rose die.



I then used two MIC Delicate Corner and four stems from the Butterfly Leaves chipboards and coloured them with some coloured pencils.  I finished this off with the antique paper distress ink and some perfect pearls.

  19. This is a lovely card Trudie. I love the Make It Crafty Images and I love your flowers and butterflies. We are in Autumn here in Sydney, Australia but have been having very hot summery weather with above normal temperatures for this time of the year. Today is a bit cooler and it is supposed to rain all week. Good for crafting.
    Thank you for sharing in the blog hop.
    Have a good week
