Love you more than rainbows-Crafty Templates April

It's that time again :) Had lots of fun with the new Crafty Templates 'Love you more than rainbows' April card kit. Such bright and cheerful colours and lovely embellishments, Leo really knows how to put a kit together.

Here is my first one, and I just love it! I uses squares of paper from the kit and sewed them on in a patchwork style. The bird was from the template and coloured with my new promarkers (love them so much!) Everthing is from the kit except the jewels.

This one uses the apron template and all materials from the kit except the sentiment and jewels. So sweet as an embellishment on a cookbook mini book, or as card for someone who likes to cook!

I love the happy colours in the one. I chose to use the rainbow and card shape template but added paper for the rainbow from a previous kit and AC paper for the background, glitter and stamped sentiment are from my own stash.

Hope you like them! Are you a Crafty Templates subscriber? I would love to see what you create with your kit, please add a link in the comments and I would like to come visit :)

April Card Challenge

So, here are my two entries. The theme was Red, Pink or Orange. I may have taken it too literally with the first card I made.

It was originally monochromatic orange, but it felt like it it all melded in together so I added some chalked Sizzix leaves and cream to the tissue ruffle and was quite happy with the end result, but still wasn't 'feeling it' so I also made this card:

I went with Pink Collage Press paper accented with orange and went from there, I think it's my favourite but the orange was very labour intensive and so I do have a soft spot for it!
