Crafts Galore Encore April 2015 Challenge

It's the 1st of April today which means it's April Fools' Day. I love trying to spot (and avoid) the pranks. I hope you manage to survive the day without falling for any jokes.
Welcome to the April challenge for the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog. It is a month long challenge and you can enter up to three times. A full list of rules are on the challenge blog.
This challenge is being sponsored by the popular Sherri Baldy and her prize for the winner is a choice of 3 of the digis that the DT have used for their inspiration samples.


The theme for this month is an easy 
"Make a Card"

As it's now April, I thought I'd make a Springtime card. Not that any Springtime weather is forecast.
I used textured Papermania card in sage green, bright orange and sunshine yellow. The paper is from the Little Meow range from Docrafts. I used a couple of Marianne dies to create the frame for the image and an X-cut die for the butterflies. The ivy was cut with a Signature die from Joanna Sheen.

I chose the delightful Fay Sisters image and coloured it with a mix of Copics and Promarkers. The other images the Design Team were offered are equally lovely but I thought this image was perfect to celebrate Spring.

I added a bunch of daffodils and tulips tied with a bow and finished the card by adding orange gems to the butterflies.
Now please visit the Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog to see the other wonderful cards from my fabulously talented team mates and to see the other lovely images for the prize.
I've added my photos to the My-Besties Designs Facebook group and
I've entered this card into the following challenges:
