Let’s Celebrate

Kia Ora Koutou

Welcome back.  I don’t know about you but I feel that I have been coming out of hibernation after being in lockdown for so long.  Here in New Zealand we are in the fortunate position of very few new cases and a country opening up again but I am still very wary of going out and meeting people.

Today I want to share a card showcasing the gorgeous new decorative dies from Heartfelt Creations and the lovely pansy image from the Burst of Spring collection.  I have recently done an online course on how to use Zig Clean Colour Brush markers with Rajni Chawla (please contact her on Facebook for more information) and my colouring has improved immensely.  I love how the image pops out against the gorgeous dies.  I have also used some pearlised vellum from Lawn Fawn for a contrast with the white cardstock.  The photos doe not do this card just with all the glitter and contrast.

Products Used:

Mother’s Have a Beautiful Day

Kia Ora Koutou

Welcome back to a very different Mother’s Day celebration today.  I am at home with my husband and daughter having a very quiet day and will be hopefully catching up with my son when our restrictions are released in the next week or so.

I have a special card to cheer all those celebrating Mother’s Day around the world.  I have used Heartfelt Creations Wild Rose and Oakberry Lane flowers and leaves with the new Elegant Oval Frame dies.  I have had limited craft supplies at home and so have used the Calla Lily papers with these flowers.

I apologise for the quality of the photos – the lighting is not great at home.

I hope that you are safe and well wherever you are in the world.  Kia Kaha – stay strong
