CDAC Card Swap

I think you all know by now that I am the hostess for the swaps over at CDAC. Well our first two swaps were pins and cards. For the cards, we created a spring theme. It needed to include yellow, pink, and green plus use an image with spring flowers on it. It also had to have three layers and a minimum of one embellishment. Easy Peasy Springtime Breezy!

I had so many images of flowers that would have been perfect for this swap. problem was my time has been crunched with the new addition to the household so I wasn't sure how I was going to find time to make these.Then I ran across the perfect image over at Paper Printables. The lady who drew this and operates the site is Kate Prothero-Davies and her newsletter was my savior!  This new image she created (comes in both B&W and pre-colored) had all the colors I needed along with the spring flowers and some added interest of a cottage front. PERFECT. I could use the pre-colored digi and whip these up fairly quickly. So here's what my swap mates will receive from me.

 I decided to add a pin to the front just cause I like them and ...well I'll admit it...I've become obsessed with them! I love making the little buggers! These were made to look like flowers with the bell shaped metal piece and the beads for the stamen. I also added some May Arts leaves and a little crocheted flower from Michael's.

Inside, I layered again and then added the butterfly. I intentionally left them blank so they can use them for whatever they like. I'll put a little sticky note inside telling them that.

These swaps are really enjoyable and the creations that others are making are so fun to see. Really lets you see different ways of assembling and embellishing and it's in your hand and not in a picture. If you're interested in joining us come on over to CDAC. Our newest swap is a MINI ALBUM and you only have to make one (1)!

Love ya,
