Morning all you lovely Peeps, time for my Monday Prickly Pear DT share and also some previews of the new Nicecrane images. You sent me some lovely messages about my Prickly Pear Easter basket tutorial last week, I am so pleased you liked it and thank you for all your kind words.
For my Prickly Pear card above I have used one of the elegant crosses from the Easter 2 clear set which has four different crosses and sentiment and although I have gone with an Easter card there are so many other occasions these could be used for. I have used an embossing folder for the background, embossed the cross with detail white powder and made a Lily with Tonic's Lily punch and stamp set shading the edges with Pan Pastels and added some vines using a Cheery Lynn die.
Using Elegant Ladies II and Graphic 45 DP's
I find the Graphic 45 design papers lend themselves perfectly to the Nicecrane designs which sounds like a perfect excuse to 'need' them all and I I am itching to get my grubby mitts on the new ones released at CHA in January.
You might also like to know that Nicecrane are now creating custom made blog headers for $5, if you would like one created for your blog you can mail Ignacio here and he will work with you to create the individual look you are after

Beautiful cards Brenda. Lovely images and designs.
I haven't seen the Fens mentioned on the news so am wondering if the rivers and dykes are behaving themselves at the moment.
Heard nothing amiss from Wilburton but they are a little higher.

I love the delicateness of the first with the way your lily colours pick put on the soft colour of the embossed cross image. The dry embossed background looks beautiful seen through your sheer ribbon. A really classy creation.
Your second card is a real stunner with the way the paper co-ordinates with the image. Your little flowers echo those in the image perfectly & I love how your ribbon actually accentuates the soft fabric of her hat. A lovely piece of designing with all the elements cohering to form an elegant whole.

Hi Brenda, stunning set of cards and you always create such gorgeous designs and layouts for them. hugs Shirleyxxx
Beautiful set of cards Brenda. I always look forward to visiting your blog and seeing your lovely work.
My internet connection is being really awkward just now and with hubby being home so late and having tea late if it goes off I just give up and go and knit or crochet instead. Not good for blogging and visiting my favourite blogs.
Take care,
Kat xx
