 Hello-

Today I am sharing a card I made as part of a collaborative blog post with Hilary from Fiddling About

Hilary is from England, and she is one of the nicest people I've met through crafting. I am so lucky to call her my friend. She makes lovely cards, several of which decorate my crafty space. Hilary is on several design teams, and if you haven't popped by her blog before take this opportunity to see her projects.

For our projects we both used the Hero Arts Museum Frame fancy die and at least one stencil on our projects, other than those two must haves we were free to design and create our cards.

I used cloud and grass stencils and die cut and colored crocus dies.

This is what I came up with:


 I can't wait to see what Hilary did, join me and hop on over to her blog.

Thanks for visiting.

Hi Cat,
I could be a Dutch card, with the cloudy sky and the yellow tulips. I do like it! Love from The Netehrlands!

What a fun idea to collaborate with Hilary, who I agree is one of the nicest and friendliest crafters in blog land x. The frame on your striking card looks fabulous and so rich and draws your eyes into the beautiful and vibrant crocus Cat x. Absolutely beautiful x.

love those tulips framed so elegantly - how fun to do this with Hilary - I think I still have some of the bits and bobs you sent me we did a collab quite a few years ago!

I can only confirm the compliment you gave Hilary!!! And I think it's great that you two do handicrafts together!!
You have created a beautiful spring meadow. And now of course I'm curious to see what Hilary made!!

I've hopped over from Hilary's blog to see your card. I love how two crafters can have the same starting point and come up with such different cards. That frame die is fabulous. Beautiful scene you've created.

SEE! Everybody loves playing cards with you, my friend! Cat, your yellow tulips are so deserving of that gorgeous frame! A lovely blue sky with clouds that are only there to spark the imagination - I think I see a caterpillar!
So wonderful - and I've already seen and loved Hilary's card, too!

Cat, your framed image looks like an art gallery piece! The frame is fabulous with all the detail showing beautifully. Love the yellow crocuses and the stenciled scene. The little sentiment placed so adds to the gallery quality. I just love it all to bits!
