Card for St Luke's Charity Cards Challenge & Tiffany Doodles New Release

 There's a really good new challenge blog out there, the St Luke's Charity Cards Challenge.  OK there are hundreds of challenges out there now but this one is different! Here is what they say:

"Hello you lovely, lovely people who are joining us on this exciting adventure in our little corner of blogland...
We thought we would start off easy, with a challenge that both beginners and those more experienced would be sure to have some materials for - so our inaugural challenge is to "say it with flowers". You can "say" anything you like - Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary, Hello, With Sympathy, Get Well Soon - anything you like, or nothing at all if you don't want to include a sentiment - just include flowers or a floral theme on your card somewhere.

Cards can be any shape, size or colour. If you are going to kindly donate your card to the charity, if you could include a matching blank envelope that would be great - if you can pop it in a protective card bag then even better but we can sort this once we receive them if you don't have them available. Then just pop it all in another slightly larger envelope (perhaps with a bit of extra card or tissue to protect anything delicate) and send it to:
Freepost RSAZ-XHKY-ZXLY
Charity Card Challenge
St Luke's Hospice
Little Common Lane
Sheffield
S11 9NE

IF YOU COULD SPARE THE CHANGE FOR A STAMP AND NOT USE THE FREEPOST ADDRESS, (SAME ADDRESS, JUST OMIT THE FREEPOST LINE) THEN EVEN BETTER AS THIS SAVES THE CHARITY EVEN MORE MONEY - THANKS
SOME PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ABOUT SENDING GENERAL CARDS TO THE HOSPICE FOR SALE - THIS IS FINE - AND ANY CARDS WILL BE GREATFULLY RECEIVED OUTSIDE OF THE MONTHLY CHALLENGES."
 
I have a packet of cards to send and I hope that anyone else in the UK will try to send them some cards too:)

My Say It With Flowers card uses a new release from Tiffany Doodles, available in the shop from 8 April.  This is Pear Blossom, isn't it gorgeous?  I've coloured it with Copics and Glossy Accents, used a Nestie die and some papers from Basic Grey Cappella.  I've kept it fairly simple, the blossom branch is the star here.

My card is for the following challenges:
Magical Monday - let's use flowers
Paper Sundaes - spring blossoms
Sparkles Forum - springtime
Allsorts - blooming blossoms
Crafty Calender Challenge - April showers bring forth May showers

  4. A really lovely card Anne and one of the first I ahve seen that has 'real' blossoms, just perfect.

    And the challenge sounds a very worthwhile one as well.

    Thank you so much for sharing your lovely creation and joining in my Bloomin’ Blossoms theme at Allsorts this week.
