EASTER TIME

Hi to you all 

I have been back in the craft room creating some Easter cards 

I used the free die and papers from 

Issue 188 of simply card and papercrafts magazine in the uk 

I love this Issue so just had to share 

This month they also have Elegant digital download from Nitwit Collections 

I just love the Nitwit collections so have made a few cards with their papers 

Here are my cards 

For the daffodils I used the paper squares you can print out in the different shades made it easy to use and get good shading on the layers 

on the first card I made a box front and added a sentiment I had and small gems all the papers are from the free download 

on the second card I added my own sentiment and a bow 

 Here are the Nitwit cards I made 

On these cards I used the papers in my graphics program and layered them up using some of the embellishments in the collection and the wording also the clocks which I just love 

I added some glitter and glue gems 

I would like to enter the first cards into some challenges
