Spring, trio of cards.

Over on the Country View Cards blog the topic is Spring and it inspired me to create some cards.
I started by die cutting card blanks using a new die from a pack of 3 new thinlits from Tim Holtz.

I simply inserted a coloured back behind the front of the card to highlight the beautiful detail.

Next, I die cut some flowers from Tim's new wildflower thinlets. I used co-ordinating papers from a 6x6 paper pad.  I arranged the flowers into a bunch and secured them with a ribbon.

Finally, on 2 of the cards I used Emma Godfreys new and very useful mini stamps EM18. A really handy go to, when you need a little birthday greeting.

One of the cards will go to my lovely aunt who will be 98 soon, and another to my beautiful daughter.

Thankyou for looking!
