Love them both! The fence with the eggs...super cute.
Wonderful cards, Tracey! I really like how the first one is single-layer, yet soooooo pretty! Thanks for playing ColourQ this week! Hope your weekend is going well!! :)
Very cute and Springy Easter Card.
What an adorable card! I've gotto look at MIM now!
Your cards are just beautiful! I pinned your first one, but both are every bit as pretty!

Awwww, what a cute, cheery Easter card! Hard to do when you are feeling anything but cheerful. I hope Ben can figure out a way to make lemonade out of the lemons life has handed him!
Simply delightful spring cards Tracey! Love those butterflies (all of them!) and the eggs with the picket fence...FUN! Continued prayers for Ben ;)
Lovely! I really like the first card. The stamping pattern on those butterflies is so pretty. :-) Thanks so much for visiting my blog. hugs!
Such sweet cards Tracey! Lovin' the butterflies on both and textured white picket fence!
First of all Tracey, I am so sorry to hear of your son Ben's illness, and the rotten timing of it all. How heartbreaking it must be for all of you. Prayers for you and Ben! Secondly, as always, love your cards and how fresh and cheery they look. Super sweet!
Love your butterfly card, Tracey, but both cards are lovely! Thanks for joining us this week at the ColourQ and sharing your cards.
These are gorgeous Tracey! I especially like the first - I do love a one-layer card! So sorry to hear your son has been unable to join his friends on the London trip, he must feel so disappointed.
Tracey these are beautiful cards, so fresh and springlike!
So sorry to hear that your son is ill and has to miss his tour of Europe, that must be so hard for him.
My husband had the same illness at the same age as your son, and I remember how ill he was with it, so you have made the right decision. I hope his recovery is swift, and starts to feel better soon.
Love both of these cards Tracey. The first is my favorite...it's perfect. :)
Beautiful spring cards Tracey! They are so lively and bright.
What beautiful butterflies!
You did a great job with those colors!! I love the stamped butterflies on the first card and love the fence and easter eggs on the 2nd!
Tracey, both cards are very striking, and your grass along the fence with the colored eggs is adorable. So sorry to read that Ben is still under the weather and missing the London trip. Praying for his health and strength to return soon!
Glad Ben is feeling better, but I am so sorry that he did not get to go. I know the feeling of your heartache ....a mothers love! Your cards are beautiful! I love the little eggs laying near the fence, just adorable! Prayers for a quick recovery!
I like the two different versions of butterflies - both are special. Happy spring!
Two super sweet cards with these colors, Tracey! I just love those pretty butterflies in these spring shades. Thanks for joining us this week at the ColourQ!
Congrats Tracey I knew this one was a winner...SO PRETTY!
Thanks Lisa :)
Sweet, sweet, sweet....both of them make me smile!
Both very, very pretty. And congrats on making ColourQ Courtier for the first! It really is beautiful. You used those butterflies in the color palette perfectly. ;-) And I love your little easter scene in the second - so adorable! Fabulous work. ;-)
I'm sad for your son, poor guy. But congratulations to you on being a Courtier over on ColourQ for your beautiful bright card! Thanks for the inspiration and Happy Easter!
