What mum wouldn't love to receive this lovely little bunch of flowers?

When my kids were little they used to raid my garden to find flowers to make into a bunch to give me.  Yes, some of them were bruised and broken.  Yes, sometimes they were weeds. Yes, the colour combos were often quite weird, but oh how I loved that they wanted to give me them.  Sometimes they would have bits of foil wrap or they would be tied up with bits of wool. 

I like the freshness of the blue and white with the touch of greeness.  I distressed the edges of all the card and papers to go with the rustic image.  Dots of GA in the centre of the flowers.

Many thanks to Sheepski for the image, get it here: flowering-cherry-image-no-194

 I love using my left over strips for background and this time I made a zingy border.  I also added another more subtle border white-on-white with the lace edge, just for a little lacy femininity  ;-D.

Toucan Rocks

 

At 2 Crafty Critter Crazies we always have critters!  Always.  Join us here: 2craftycrittercrazies

Thanks to Sheepski for providing this great image, get it here:  tropical-image-no-239

You toucan rock!  Such a colourful bird, when I looked them up I was amazed that there are so many kinds and colours of toucan.  I layered the image and the sentiment so it stood out from the EF and made some nice shadows.

Camouflage Chameleon

Join us at the Crafters Cafe for our Anything Goes challenge, here:  crafterscafeblogchallenge















Thanks to Sheepski for providing this Chameleon image, get it here:  camouflage-image-no-152







I printed the paper twice, at different magnifications, turning one to print the chameleon, so it would blend but slightly stand out (paperpieced).  The branch is diecut from brown & pink snippets of paper, then misted with metallics.
I will put a sentiment on later, when I have an occasion.
