April CARDs pubs.

this is my second post for today - be sure to scroll down for my latest giveaway

Happy day, Girls!

I'm so excited to share with you today the (2) cards that I had published in the April issue of CARDs magazine.

This first card features patterned papers and stickers from Fancy Pants' Little Sprout collection. I think these colors look just great on kraft cardstock which has always been a challenge for me - can't seem to get the right amount of pop on my cards when I use kraft. I've got some fun American Crafts ribbon on here which I don't use near enough, and a Papertrey Ink sentiment and button; fun stuff.

I saw something out in blogland recently, think it was on the CARDs blog actually, which asked you to send or post your favorite card you've ever made. I'm not sure that I have just one, however this card would be at the top of the list. I love the fun BasicGrey paper, the butterfly I die cut 3 times and stacked dimensionals in between each layer, the cupcake paper with the cupcake sentiment just tickles me. I {heart} this card so!
