Spring is nearly here....

Today's card has a lovely bright happy spring feel to it.  Isn't it lovely that the nights are getting longer, I always feel that I have more energy and happiness as the clocks are nearly ready to change.

I dusted off Flower Shop for this card and the sentiment comes from Hey You.

Enjoy your Mother's Day weekend I hope each and everyone of you is spoiled by your loved ones.  I have a lunch out with a girlfriend today and then we will do a spot of crafting and my Son is taking me out for lunch tomorrow.

Rolled Marble background Technique

Each month at card club we learn a new or revisit a past stampin technique.

Last month it was the rolled marble technique..........it is created by using marbles and rolling them over your cardstock to create a unique background each time.

Take an old clean take-away tub and place a few drops of re-inker into the bottom.

Next gently roll over your marbles I tend to use about 3 or 4.  If you feel the reinker is too dark just mop up some of the excess with kitchen towl.

Now lay your cardstock into the tub and roll the marbles gently over it until you are happy with the result.

Allow a few minutes for the ink to dry and then finish your card.

My design was simple and the sentiment could be changed for perhaps a sympathy one or thinking of you.  A change in colours would also make my design more feminine
