Happy Mothersday!!
It’s Mothersday today in most of Europe and USA.. I’m quite lucky cos in a way I get two ‘Mothersday Celebrations’ a year!! lol
Hasn’t the weather been Glorious?! I’m loving the sunshine and it reflected in the colours I’ve used for my card of today, which is a quickie.. as it was way to nice to sit indoors in my craft room.. but managed a little play and I am really pleased with the way she turned out 🙂
The Arty Girlz Challenge, as this week the theme is 3D. I’ve decoupaged the bark, leaves, flowers, toadstool and snail, also tilda is on 3d pads..lol below is a more detailed picture of this.
These little additions to the card might look familiar to some of you!.. as I have used my Bugs ATC from last week to utilise it into this little scene 😉
DP is from DaisyD’s and BG (Mellow), ribbon from TLC and sentiment from PSX

Beautiful card!! I was never a fan of orange but lately I think it makes beautiful cards and this is no exception. I totally love that paper. I think Basic Grey is changing my mind on alot of colors! (LOL) I love all the “extras” in there and I love the embossing!! (I am such a fan of the cuttlebug!!)

Beautiful Marlene, so sweet!

Dit is ook al weer zo’n beauty, Marlene! En zo mooi ingekleurd, echt prachtig!

Hoi Marlene Bedankt voor je geweldige commentaar. Fun in de sun geeft helemaal weer hoe het weer hier op het ogenblik is. We hebben al een week onafgebroken zon. Mijn man heeft best last van alle pollen, maar die moet dinsdag voor zijn werk naar Ireland. Daar is het maar 14 graden en dan knapt ie wel weer op. Hier blijf het zeker tot eind van de week mooi. Gelukkig hoef ik vrijdag pas weer aan het werk. Ik vind jouw kaart ook altijd erg leuk en kom regelmatig kijken voor wat inspiratie. Welterusten voor straks groetjes Marja.

gorgeous as always Marlene and great way of using your ATC. You were very good to tear yourself away from the gorgeous weather, I didn’t, so have no card to show today!
May 11th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Another stunning card! I hope the weather turns horrible so we get to see lots more of your creations :0)
Happy Mother’s Day to you!

Really a wonderful and sunshiny card! I wouldn’t have thought that this was possible, but your colouring is even getting better with each card!
The weather over here was terrific too and we spent a lot of time in the garden.
