First Day of Spring!


I'm so excited for the first day of Spring! I am awaiting for the ground to dry slightly so I can determine what the weeds vs. the flowers and plants are that are peeking through the ground.


I'm playing along with the Papertrey Ink Create Along with Us: March 2016. I chose to recreate Laurie's clean, simple and stunning creation.


I inked a card base lightly with blue, then added stamped, die cut blooms and leaves from Lovely Layers. The sentiment is from Botanical Silhouettes. I added some black pearls and adhered to decorated white panel on a white cardbase.

This is Laurie's creation that inspired me:

    Love how you used your Lovely Layers! I had to go look up the stamp set because I didn't even recognize it. Beautiful card with your delicate background color and strong black accents.

    That means that we are now heading into Winter... sigh. But I really shouldn't complain, I live in the subtropics, so it's not a 'real' Winter here anyway. Love your sweet Spring flower bouquet, yet another fabulous design!
