Secret garden, art journal spread for France Papillon Alad/Asaw challenge

Hello!

I made this art journal spread for this weeks prompt "Secret Garden".

For this spread I used Creepers and Crawlers stamp set from Illusionary artists in

a little different way and created my secret garden.

In case this is the first time you read about the challenge, check out the

 first blog post on the subject here, 

where we explain what it is all about.

You can join the fun at any time on the France Papillon and Creative Butterflies 

facebook group, where lots of alad spreads and in between layers get shared, 

which will definitely help your mojo to be inspired!

To see my whole spread, and to read about next weeks prompt, please hop on over to 

France´s blog HERE.

Hope you will join us!

Tulip card with Rubber Dance stamps and Lindy´s magicals on photopaper

Hi!

Second card for today!

Here I used Rubber Dance stamps for my colourful spring themed card.

I mixed Lindy´s Magicals in small spray bottles and sprayed on photopaper through stencils from That´s Crafty to make my backgrounds - one in green/yellow and one in yellow/orange/pink.

I stamped my flowers from the stamp set Crazy Flowers #1 on the other piece of photopaper and cut the flowers out. Stamped the "leaves" and stems and added the quote from the stamp set 

"Four Seasons".

If you want to treat yourself with some new stamps, you´ll get free shipping on Rubber Dance with the code MDFreeShip.

Can´t wait for spring to come! Still a lot of snow outside here in the middle of Sweden...

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Today I share this rainbow card using Lindy´s magicals on photo paper and 

That´s Crafty stamps.

I mixed my Magicals in small spray bottles and sprayed on the photopaper through a stencil from That´s Crafty to make my own rainbow coloured background.
