Happy Saturday to all my lovely friends and followers I hope everyone is well and looking forward to the weekend. Today I'm sharing another of the Easter cards I made last weekend I've used the lovely stamp from the Lili of the Valley latest release A Cart Full Of Sunshine . There is a bit of a tale to this stamp I bought the rubber stamp at Harrogate and then thought it was faulty as my stamp didn't have the pretty little branch at the top that I was seeing on cards others had made. I contacted Lili of the Valley who explained the branch was only on the digi stamp and print images because of production methods with the rubber stamp. I then decided as I love d the cute branch to get the digi stamp as well and this is what I used for my card. I apologise in advance for the photographs my camera hates green so the backing paper on this card is a much prettier green its from a Lili of the Valley Timeless Victorian pad.

ReplyDeleteIsn't it refreshing to be able to get into the garden again! Carole, your Easter card is so charming! The recipient will keep it on the table for months to come!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWonderful Easter card Carole! The branch does add something to the image so I'm not surprised you bought the digit one too. I have that paper so know exactly what a lovely colour it is, weird what colours cameras sometimes don't like. Love the flowers in the corner with the leaves. A card to really make you smile :).
