Spring Card Exchange...

Over at the Hero Arts Flickr group there was a Spring Card exchange.... Now it might be spring over in the Northern but today is very wintery here in Auckland.   After the amazing weekend, the weather turned nasty today.    Anyway, I took part in the Spring exchange.  I got to make a card and sent to Janet in Texas.

Spring Card Exchange


I started with some pretty PP that I found here on Astrid's Pinterest.  It really looked spring like to me.  I printed it out to fit the front of the card, distressed and added some distress ink round the edge.  Added a Martha Stewart border punched edge and a ribbon.  The bird cage and bird are Tim Holtz/Sizzix dies.  The sentiment and the little dragonflies are by Hero Arts.   A little ribbon and it's finished.

And look at what came to me all the way from Cindy in Canada

HASE 2012 - card for Dawn

Isn't it awesome.  It really looks stunning and I like the added touch of a real stamp on it.   Thank you Cindy.


And a quick little peek at the sunset the other night.  It look really awesome.

Thanks for stopping by.

Love both cards Dawn, and the fact that you printed the paper to size, rather than cutting it down for your card.
Great photograph.

Janet is one lucky gal - this card is lovely, Dawn! And to think that you had to think Spring when you weren't enjoying one. Funny. Thanks for sharing that amazing sky picture - WOW! Love your card and also Cindy's. What a nice thing to do.
