Cocktails with brad

The sun is shining out there, it's time for cheerful colours - and there's me already dreaming about summer! I'm looking forward to the season that allows you to sit outside, sipping on a cool fruit cocktail...

Easter flowers

For this card in the A Spoonful of Sugar challenge no. 44, I have been using a sketch from the One Stop Craft challenge no. 20, with doodling on the matted oval layers. The photos are cut out from some packaging. The butterfly is a brad which I have glimmer misted. Its "trail" is punched out. The white flower is Clare Curd Signature Range, with an added gem.

How much is that parrot in the window...?

The red ribbon is organza and quite see-through. I wanted a bright red to match the parrot's colours, so I had to underlay it with a strip of red paper. I am entering this card for the "special ribbon" themed Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC7) (see the Flourishes newsletter).

Layout in brown, pink and blue

I have tried out different colours on this layout - this is a combination that I don't normally use.
