It's time to ditch the winter blues! Create a card that sings Spring using inspirational quotes, pretty colors and florals or themes that celebrate new life. Whether you draw inspiration from the graphic or blaze your own trail, just show us what spring means to you!
When I saw the inspiration photo, I just couldn't get past the butterfly and soft colors. So my card is my rendition of the photo. Using my Distress Inks, I created my soft pink background. I heat embossed some butterflies from Blue Skies with clear embossing powder, sponged Distress Inks over the top, and fussy cut them out. I used the frame from On Occasion to ground my butterflies and my sentiment (from Hope Blooms). Love those tiny sequins? I LOVE them.....they are called Pastel Sequin Mix from Verve!
