Bluebell woods

Last week my Hb and I managed to get up to the local woods to see if the bluebells were out....and yes they were. We had such a lovely walk and it was so relaxing listening to the birds in the trees and admiring the wonders of the annual bluebell show.

The sun was shining as we entered the woods
and we didn't have to walk too far until the blankets of bluebells were revealed to us



These are the true native English bluebells...such gorgeous flowers and their scent wafted throughout the woods as we walked.......
How clever is Mother Nature putting on this annual spectacle for us.
and what a wonderful afternoon walk we enjoyed.


For my card today I thought I would share a "blue" card, a baby boy card. I used my distress inks to make the focal and then coloured on top with my Promarkers. I rather liked the effect. This is another for my stock for the tea rooms. I used another of my Ladybug Craft inks stamps. The paper is an ancient one and the die cuts are all Memory box other than the spellbinders frame. The sentiment is Lili of the Valley. 


With a sweet little teddy bear charm ;0)

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;

Simon Says stamp Monday show us your metal I have used a metal charm
Noor UK anything goes
Little Claire's 3/3 spring colours
Creative Card Crew wet or dry embosssing I have used both. I wet embossed the baby stamp and I dry embossed the baby toys.
Crafty Hazelnut's paper challenge April
I love Promarkers pastel colours
Simon Says stamp Wednesday anything goes


I blinked and found that April has nearly ended...how did that happen? I cannot believe how busy I have been this month and I now wonder how I ever had the time to work!

I will be back on Sunday to  share my May design team inspiration for the next Country View Crafts Challenge. It would be lovely if you could stop by and take a peep. I so appreciate all your support.

Thanks for visiting me today and a very warm welcome to my newest follower.

Back on Sunday,

Bye for now,

  3. Hello dear Jane,

    Beautiful "blue" post!
    If I'm not mistaken Bluebells are Hyacinths' cousins, are they not?
    You card is adorable and perfect for a baby boy.

  9. What a nice walk through the trees to find bluebells. Lovely! I know April has gone fast. My latest granddaughter is soon to appear, maybe in the next day or two. So thankful our flowers are still blooming and the weather is a bit more warm but humidity has been high, like 92% yesterday and today. Amazing for this time of year. Happy week!
