Blooming lovely

Hip Hip  array it's Friday today....yeah 

My Card today is my CRAFTY CATZ dt card and our theme is " ANYTHING GOES" and we know you like these ones..lol who doesn't.....

The image on the card has been kindly given by our sponsor The Stamping Boutique

My papers which i have used are ones i have had a little while now, sorry not sure of the name of them, but after clearing out my craft stash the other day i have decided i must not buy any more DP i have to many, but i did not admit this to my family...lol, also my ribbons got a good sort through and i did not realise how many ribbons i had. All this has come about because

I have now got my own Craft cupboard, with lots of storage, and  it's so much easier to find things..lol

The butterfly is a Martha Stewart and these die cut corner shapes was a great find!!!

this card also fits in with these other challenges going at this moment.

I love promarkers.......floral image

Inky impressions.....Anything goes

Ladybugs craft.......Birthday card

Creative inspirations......Anything goes

Clean and simple

Good Morning and Happy Easter everyone.....

I do hope the weather is good for this weekend, going up to Northumberland  on Sunday and staying over for the night just me and hubby as its our Wedding Anniversary today, and you know what he bought me for our Anniversary......YEP craft goodies.....a GRAND CALIBUR and some Spellbinder dies, i knew there was a reason i love him so much.

Now back to my card which is my DT card for CRAFTY CATZ and this week the theme is CAS (clean and simple) sometimes this is not as easy as it seems!!

Used the Swiss dots embossing folder for background and a Chloe's stamp for the flowers which have been layered up in the middle flower, with the large and smaller flower image. Ribbon is a new one from Crafty Ribbons, such a quick  card to make.
