Hello, Kraftie Friends!

It's finally Spring (at least in theory)...but was hoping for warmer temperatures this week!

Sorry I've been posting a lot lately...thought I wouldn't be able to craft this month, but got some projects done! I'll slow down soon since I'll be in a week long event...lol

Here's a quick card using scraps from my stash + some retired CTMH stamps...images were colored with alcohol-based markers.

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I die cut some leaves and used the leftover panel for this card...

All I had to add was the flower and leaves (Heartfelt Creations). Flower was colored with alcohol-based markers and I added gold paint for the center.
