Happy Sunday All and hope you are well and enjoying a touch of Spring ... fingers crossed it's here to stay.
I've had a hectic week and hardly surprised that my last post was Tuesday! YIKES!
Anyway to make up for it I've 3 cards to share with you which have taken a while today. Grrr that always seems to happen when I miss a few days of crafty-time.
So grab your sun-shades and here goes with a card to enter the Color Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketches challenges.

Papers: Echo Park Dots & Stripes
Sentiment: Uniko Studio - It's a Gift
From my stash: button, twine, Doodlebug Sprinkles, Josy Rose Nail Heads
Tools: Stand-alone Scalloped Dies from Clearly Besotted
Next up the ideal colour combo at ColourQ this week for a St Patrick's Day card and I needed one so an added bonus! The sketch I've used is from Retro Sketches so I'll be skipping along there too.
Card Recipe:

Last one for today is to enter the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge where it's a colour challenge this week and to be honest I wasn't sure about these colours. The purple tones I love but mixed with yellow! The jury is out on that one!
