The 12 Kits of Occasions - March '14





It's time for the 12 Kits of Occasions March Kit reveal!
Kelly was our hostess this month with a gorgeous kit of goodies for Easter and spring!

I created 5 cards with Kelly's kit but I have so much more left to create with. I can't wait to see what the rest of the team has done so I can get some ideas to CASE.  For my first card I used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch #70 for my design.

I used RetroSketches #108 for this next card.

Reverse Confetti March Color Challenge

IMG_4108


I can't get spring out of my head, this has been by far the longest and coldest winter I can ever remember. Winter is the toughest season for me and really it can't get warm fast enough.  So playing with this spring colour palette from Reverse Confetti was a chance for me to imagine spring. 




I thought that the patterned paper I chose was a perfect match to the top of the dress in the inspiration photo.

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - March '14

IMG_4092


A card for this month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!




The theme this month was to add high gloss to your creations.  So I pulled out Sketched Scribbles and created a card base with some spring colours and then I die cut Wonderful Words Hello 5 times to create a dimensional accent.  The first four in white and the top hello is orange foil.

Here is a close up of the hello die cut.
