Polkadoodles - Spring Pastels

This fortnights challenge is Spring Pastels and for my inspiration post card I have used the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime collection all of the elements are from this kit. I used my Brother Scan 'n' Cut to cut out all the layers and to cut around the digi stamp.



I just love the chalkboard look with the spring pastels of this kit but it's a grey not black which really makes it all tie together. I also used the kit to make a coordinating MDF heart. I also added a box to gift the heart in.

The flowers are cut using my Marianne Design spiral flowers and the leaves are from the collection which I also used my Brother Scan 'n' Cut to cut around.


The box is made using the Crafter's Companion Top Score board and their sparkle card. I then added some jewels, glitter glue and ribbon from my crafty stash.

This set is actually for my Mum's Birthday which is in March so I hope she likes them :)
