I had started this year with the plan of blogging more often, but here we are into April and I'm actually blogging less than before. Sigh. Must try harder.
As it is a Thursday, you just know I am here with my DT card for the new challenge over at
and the theme this time is Pearls or Gems (please explain your choice)
There's a time and a place for blingy gems, and that, for me, is Christmas for that little bit of sparkle. For the rest of the year, a more subtle effect is required, and that demands the softness of pearls. I actually shocked myself by how many of both I have stashed away!
So for this little chap I have used
Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers) as watercolours
I've used a selection of old Nitwits paper pads (because the colours were right and they make me think of spring tulips)
A little snippit of Lawn Fawn 6x6 Really Rainbow
and some pink and blue pearls from my bottomless stash
Our sponsor for this theme is the lovely Tracy at
Do come over and share your fabulous makes with us
