Flowers for You & Latest Followers!

Good Morning and a very Happy Mother's Day to all you mums, nans, aunties and lovely ladies out there.....I hope you are being thoroughly spoilt by your loved ones!

At THE CRAFTY PAD this week we want to see FLOWERS!

Spring is on its way, and I have been enjoying the arrival of the daffodils....I just LOVE 'em!

Our sponsor this week is Crafty Emma's Store....the winner will receive a $10 voucher to spend in her store.

This week the DT have used one of Debbie's wonderful 'WINDOW' images......I chose 'Dog in Window.' Click the link and take a look at all of the wonderful 'window' images.

As you can see, I made an easel card. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and chalks, and paper-pieced the shutters and curtains in the same/co-ordinating DPs to those used on the card.

I pinched Lorraine's fab idea from another card and made the shutters moveable by folding them open for a 3D effect (thanks Lorraine! You can see Lorraine's card HERE.)

My DPs are digi (again!) and from a Spring collection. I used my nesties, butterfly punch and corner-flourish die to cut embellishments for the main easel card front, then added a ribbon and some gems from my stash.

I made a 3D pleated rosette flower as the stopper for the easel (you can find tutes on You Tube.) I added a button and gem to decorate.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:
