Is it Spring Yet?

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!  The weather here is gorgeous - yet still gets a little too warm in the afternoon.  We usually go straight from summer to winter around here.  I'd be nice to have a little bit of fall type weather anyway.  Oh well......we take what we get.


My card is screaming SPRING to me - but I do love that season so it's ok.  The stamp I used on this is called  Dogwood 3 (H12004) from Impression Obsession.   Love these flowers!  I stamped the image, colored it, stamped again, colored it again, and then cut out the flowers and popped them up.  I used a EK punch at the bottom.  This is very similar to a card I made not long ago, and really liked the punched piece at the bottom, so based it on that card.  I added some pearls to the corners and tied a bow with sheer ribbon.

I'll enter this is the challenge at Impression Obsession (Nature Inspired).

Thanks for stopping by.............

  3. It's gorgeous, Lynn! Fantastic coloring. I love spring, too, but must admit my brain is totally into fall right now. :-D Can't wait for an excuse to light up the fireplace. Unfortunately, even though it has cooled considerably, we're still leaving the windows open at night.
