Spring card with foamiran flowers

Saturday, March 24, 2018

Hi and welcome to my blog.
Today was a nice Saturday here in the Netherlands. Although it was only 11 degrees C (51 F) there was a bit of spring in the air and the sun was shining.
My card today fits perfect because it has a spring theme and it was a joy making this card.

The paperpad I used is from Mintay Papers called Springtime. So pretty.
The lovely chipboard with the birds is from misz masz papierowy .

I made the flowers using rosy dot dies, stamens and foamiran from 14 craft bar. I used white foamiran and colored this with oil pastels and chalks to match the papers.

The lace frame and crochet flowers tucked away there are from allma craft.

I stamped sentiment is from inspired by stamping.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Easter card with foamiran flowers

Friday, March 16, 2018

Hi, today I'm sharing an Easter card full with spring foamiran flowers.

The papers I used on this card are from the paperpad "springtime" from mintay papers.
The Easter egg chipboard is from MiszMasz papierowy and I bought it at the lemoncraft shop.

I made all the flowers on this card using foamiran sheets and stamens from the 14 craft bar shop.

I colored white foamiran with blue and yellow chalks to get the colors I wanted.

There are also lace and fabric elements on this card, these are from Allmacraft.com. A webshop from the Ukraine I recently discovered. They sell THE most beautiful laces, guipure, crochets and other goodies, you really must take a look.

I would like to enter this card in these challenges:

Spring card with foamiran flowers

Monday, March 5, 2018

Hello friends, last week was a very cold week here in the Netherlands with a windchill of -15C (5F), brrr. I don't like the cold weather and I long for spring.
My card today has a spring theme and is very bright and cheerful.

Before I started to make this card I searched on Pinterest for a nice spring colorscheme and I found this one.

I collected matching papers and foamiran sheets to make the flowers.

The flowers are made with all kinds of dies I have in my stash. The foamiran, stamens, flower centres, wax chord and chipboard circle are from 14 craft bar.
