Digi Haven - Mother's Day/Floral Challenge

Hello Everyone

Well the Spring weather didn't last very long - it's back to the rain now, what a surprise! Still on the plus side, Brent has had to go to work today so I'm spending the rest of the day in Crafty Corner - I've already been for a swim this morning.

Anyway on to the challenge, which is a day late - sorry! The theme at Digi Haven this time is Mother's Day/Floral and is sponsored by:-

Pop over to the Digi Haven Blog to join in the challenge and for more info on the prizes in store for the winners.

I've chosen to use a Poppy Digi-stamp from My Grafico and here is my DT card:-

 

 

What do you think - I don't normally use flowers on their own.

 

I'm off now to schedule another post for Monday and to start planning some more cards - can I get any more made while Brent is at work - watch this space!

 

Don't forget to join in our challenge at Digi Haven!

 

Enjoy the weekend everyone

I decided to use the Mermiad image and here is my card:-

The photo doesn't really show its true colour - in real life it is more green than blue but I hope you like the look of it anyway! Her tail is also covered with stickles (as are her flowers) but the camera doesn't really pick this up either. Think I might try and get another photo tomorrow in the daylight!

Enjoy the weekend everyone - I need to do the food shopping online and Woodi also has a vet's follow up appointment tomorrow, oh and not forgetting I'm off for a swim in the morning - busy busy busy!!
