** March Card Challenge **

**Mystik Nat** · 02-03-2008, 01:23 PM

This month's challenge is called:

Spring is in the air!

And yep, you guessed it, the challenge is to create a card using Spring colours and/or Spring-themed embellishments if you have them.

Bunnies, chicks, Easter eggs... lots of pastel colours... and of course flowers!

If at the end of the month there have been 10 or more cards posted here in this thread, then one lucky person will be chosen as a 'winner' and will receive a little goodie through the post courtesy of Julie at Scrapbooking Castle.

Happy creating!

Fifi love those cards, I got some of those papers in the birthday swap and am looking forward to a perfect reason for using them they are gorgeous

.

Here is a flowery one using Artilicious Filigree Fushion papers and a stamp by Rubbadubbado (art flowers). I embossed the papers and stamped image using Big Shot embossing plate. The stamped image is painted using imitation h2o's from the works. TFL
