12 Kits of Occasions: March 2019 - A Whimsical Garden


A great big 'howdy' to you all! The last day of March brings the 
12 Kits of Occasions. And our hostess Lisa Elton from mypapertales.blogspot.com,
is spreading Spring our way with 'A Whimsical Garden'. 

Beautiful papers from Cartabella, darling die cuts and sentiments, stamped sweet Spring
 images, and the most gorgeous rose gold sequins ever! Be still my blossom lovin' heart! 
Well just take a look...


This guy is loving the rain, and the hope of Spring blooms so much, I had to lead with 
him. Life in my valley is beautiful right now. We've had loads of life giving rain, and I
thank God for every drop!


Lisa included this phrase, which I added to the inside of froggie's card.
Really... it says it all!


Next up, one of 3 Impression Obsession bunnies included in the kit, popped up on
a field of flowers.
PTI: Shape Shifters Oval 3 & Cover Plate Marquee.


Lisa wrapped our goodies in this green and white chevron paper. Wish you could
feel it, so rich and smooth. Perfect for 2 bunny friends enjoying the outdoors.
Corners cut from PTI's Mix and Mat Herringbone and some of Lisa's dp from the kit.


These 2 friends are mounted on Stamplorations: Luggage tags


Lisa stamped these 2 in soft brown ink for us. I used my Polychromos pencils to color them.


I'm a bit over the moon for this Art Gone Wild 'puttering around bunny'. Lisa sent us the 
mini bow too. Seemed a good place to put it, over the medallion, on the wreath. 
Colored with copics.


I also colored the trio of bloom die cuts with copics, and framed the card in black.
Poppystamps: Stitchwork Rectangle Frames.

Thank you, thank you, Lisa for a fabulous Spring-a-licous kit!
Can't wait to peruse my 'kit sisters' blogs to see how they used their goodies! 

Lisa is giving away a couple of mini kits on her blog. Be sure to visit her blog
for details.

Happy Spring! Hope it's beginning to look like Spring where you are!

  2. Oh Nancy, my heart is just filled with joy after looking at your beautiful cards! I love the froggie with the rainboot paper. It is such a fun pairing, I wish I had saved mine out now. Your topiary bunnies and little girl are colored so sweetly, as are the beautiful flowers. Gosh, I'm just in awe and wish I could case all of your cards. Happy spring my friend!

  3. Nancy you id it again! So MANY absolutely fabulous cards made with Lisa's amazing kit! I love how you always add a bit of your own to the kits and that you were smart enough to use the green chevron paper--smart lady! I can't possibly start picking favourites but I do love all you perfect colouring (especially those detailed images), that you included a sentiment inside the froggie card and all your fussy cutting. Love them all my friend!

  5. Nancy, my friend, I am in awe of your wonderful, creative designs! Each card is a delight to see! The way you paired your own dies and elements with the kit brings out the best of every image and DSP! The little frog is so cute framed in the rain boots, and the fussy cut flowers look amazing! Your coloring on everything is wonderful! So fun that you used the wrapping paper, and it's perfect with the vellum and photo corners! Each and every card is spectacular, Nancy!

Love the opening for the frog, the way you colored the bunny in the VW, the glow you added to the lights on the topiary umbrella....I could go on and on. Just amazing. Thanks for making my kit shine!
