Morning readers,
Having a good week? I am ... yesterday morning saw me meeting a pal for coffee and then, in the evening, meeting another pal for dinner. It was Indian cuisine at our local fave - fab!
My first make is a card that kind of reminds me it's spring, surprising since, just last week we had SNOW!!!

| My C6 card |
- White, 250gsm, C6/A2 card and matching envelope
- White card, for my card front and insert
- Low tack tape to mask off my area for inking
- Using an Aldi stencil brush I applied Memento dandelion ink to the masked area
- Having removed the tape I then overlaid my Finnabair butterflies stencil and applied another layer of the dandelion ink, stencilling outside the masked area too
- Ranger Letter-It (magazine freebie) sentiment stamped using Versafine Clair paradise ink
- Yellow sharpie, to edge my card front panel
- Dimensional foam tape, to attach the card front to the base

Lovely summery greetings card.
Great double layout scrapbook page to remember your recent trip by. Xxx
great card and the scrapbook is a lovely memory,
Lilian
Your card are so sunny and cheerful and I love the scrapbook page xx
That blue and yellow are so pretty together Kathy, and made even more so with the butterflies stencilled on to the inked area which looks a bit like a ray of light, and the blue sentiment finishes it perfectly. The scrapbook layout of your recent Stratford on Avon trip is beautifully done and the background complements everything so well, also the bits you picked up whilst on your trip and also the added stamped images look great too. x
Your butterfly card is so elegant, Kathy, and I love your Stratford pages, too! It's a beautiful place! Thanks for joining in at Dream Valley.
love Mags B x
I'm saving that card design, Kathy! Love that it is CASlicious and has a huge colorful impact with lots of movement! As for your scrapbook - well done, both in terms of the layout and the fact that you don't let any moss grow under your memories before you get them scrapped! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! I hope spring is there to stay this time! Hugs, Darnell
Beautiful card! The soft layers from the masking and stenciling go fabulously with the bold color of the sentiment. Thanks so much for joining us at Make My Monday! Hope to see you in the gallery again soon!
Lovely CAS card - really like the blue and yellow together as it reminds me of the flag of Ukraine. Thanks for joining the Lost Coast Design Challenge!
Beautiful card,
Thank you for joing us at CAS on Friday!
