Good Saturday morning lovely crafters.  A chilly, wet morning so let's cheer it up a little with some spring colours :-).

Stamp: Chloe's Swirly Grass
Perfect Pearls Green Patina and Perfect Gold
Dies: MFT Zig Zag Stitch Circles
Poppystamps Happy Birthday Floral Frame
DI Mustard Seed
Tonic butterfly punch

Happy Anniversary - curly

Good morning lovely crafters. 

For today's card I've used a lovely stamp I treated myself to recently from the Bubble Bloom range. I bought some other ones too which may be making an appearance soon :-). I like the way you can fill the circles with lots of different things - I've used card candi, but you could use pearls, glitteration dots, crystal drops, brads etc.



Items used:

Main image and sentiment: Woodware Curly Sue (sentiment is from a different set)

WOW St Tropez Sands glitter embossing powder

Card Candi not sure which

Paper:  First Edition The Promise

Dies: Go Kreate Frilly Frame #10 rectangle

DI Antique Linen

edges glittered with Hunkydory Crystallina glitter



I would like to enter the following challenges:

Creative Moments :#87 anything goes + dry/wet embossing
Lemon Shortbread : #9 anything goes
TTCRD : anything goes
Tuesday Throwdown :#281 layer it up
LoveTo Scrap : #72 anything goes
