LET'S CRAFT & CREATE #111

Good morning!

A new challenge starts today over at
LETS CRAFT & CREATE

And the prize is
A beautiful embossing folder from Marianne Designs

Here is my inspiration card

I saw this on the blog of a very talented Polish young man named
Mariusz, also known as Scrap Man in the blogger world.
This card is posted with his kind permission...thank you Mariusz!
I love the work of the Polish, always so beatifully made.
Please do visit his blog and see for yourself.
http://scrapkiart.blogspot.co.uk/

So credit really must go to him for this beautiful creation...I merely added a few extras to it.

So I started of with a 6x6 base card turned to make a tent card.
I used the G45 paper pad ONCE UPON A SPRINGTIME.
I am a G45 addict Im afraid lol. This particular pad is ideal for springtime creations.

I cut two pieces of contrasting card, one 5.75x5.75in the other 5.5x5.5.
I placed a chipboard frame in the centre.
Then I fussy cut some flowers and rabbits from the main page and placed them around the edge of the frame, the rabbits I placed more to the centre.
I cut out a piece of card the shape of two chipboard Easter Eggs and adhered one to the back of each egg and put them to the left side, putting them at a slight angle. I placed a small fussy cut bird from the pad between the eggs to give the appearance of it sitting on them.
I cut some of the border from the page I had used and placed one piece across the top and down the left side, the other in the opposite corner. Then I added a sentiment banner at the top.
I placed several flowers and leaves around the bottom of the card and one flower with leaves in the top right corner.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

Please do visit our other DT members to see their fabulous creations too.
