Sweet Spring Flowers!

Hi All, hope you's all ok! Today I've got another easel card. I didn't really used to be into these all that much, but now since I've been doing my blog, for some reason - I'm well into them! - That extra little bit gives you so much more scope for extra space to add to the design. Usually I only do easel cards for special makes & in a shabby, vintage or pretty style/look. But this is completely different its bright, cheerful & cute & don't think that usually calls for an easel type card, so I wasn't sure how I'd get on - but now it done I actually like it & it keeps growing on me!

The fabulous papers are Nitwits Cupcake fat quater bundle & the fabby little image is by talented artist Rachelle-Anne-Miller. LOVE her style & don't think they're used enough as you don't see them as much as some of the other companies, so if you've never come across her designs - they're defo worth checking out. I think they are made by Stampavie...
