Hello crafting friends and welcome to our newest challenge at the The Paper Shelter.
Team A - our challenge this week is Spring Colours
I love Spring as it is an indication that Summer is just around the corner. One of my favourite fruits is cherries. Once upon a time, when I was a child, I used to go with my cousins to a cherry orchard to help pick cherries. Not too sure how many made into the basket though, but it is one of my fond memories 😀
When I saw this cute image called Cherie Cherry, these fond memories inspired me to make this card.
I used the 6" x 6" Terrific Towers die from Made to Surprise to cut the base and all the layers of my card. The cardstock is Bazzill and the cherry pattern paper is from Doodle bug.
Here is a close up of this cutie. To make the background I used a Clouds stencil, from My Favourite Things, and Memento's Summer Sky ink and created the sky. I cut out two grassy borders using a die from Precious Marieke.
On the back I made a panel for the greeting and for me to write my personal message. The Happy Birthday die w/Shadow is from Kat Scrappiness. To add a little more interest, I cut out a few ladybugs and scattered them around. The little ladybug die was a gift from a crafts company, and I cannot remember which one, I'm ashamed to say. If any of you know, please leave a comment below so that I can update this post. I blame it on old age and the fact that I forgot to write it down. 😀 I also have a gold fish and a cute lil hibiscus from this same company.
This is a 6" x 6" card and fits into a 6.25" square envelope perfectly. It will need a little extra postage as it is not one of the normal sizes used in the US.
So this is it for my card for this week. Remember that The Paper Shelter offers a $30 gift certifcate to one lucky winner! In order to get this prize, you must use a product from The Paper Shelter. However, if you don't use a product from The Paper Shelter, you still stand a chance of winning 3 digis of your choice.
I hope you will come join the fun and share your projects with us. You will find our challenge blog HERE.
