April Cards



Tuesday Morning Sketches has this sketch this week:

 The theme is "Think of Spring"  Well around here Spring is popping up everywhere, and it's my very favorite season!  So thinking of spring is so easy!

This card probably took me longer than any I've ever made...Note to self: Glue buttons for a button frame, don't sew them, unless you have all day!










I also made this "Thank You" using the same sketch. 

 
Thank You Inside :)
I am entering these in the following challenges:
Trimmies Craft Challenge-Inspiration Picture- (Bottom card) I was inspired by the lovely green at the bottom & the blue mountains in the distance with the water & sky...tried to recreate a bit of it with misting.
Crazy4challenges-Blue & White plus another color (bottom card)
The Sisterhood Of Crafters -Recycle Challenge (Top Card) The lace on the front
Do You Stack Up- Glitter/Bling- Bottom card- (It's hard to see but the the blue & green background (behind the tree) is glimmer misted, the card has glittery stripes and I colored some of the flowers with a glitter pen)

  5. These both came out great. Think the sewn buttons look amazing, but can't imagine how long it took. Beautifully done. Thanks for joining us at Tuesday Morning Sketches this week.
