Spring is Here! (at least on my card!)


I am ready for Spring and The Play Date Cafe #14 gave me the perfect opportunity to make a colorful spring card! The colors to use are green, white, orange purple and dusty pink. I used the card sketch at Midnight Madness #38. Since I used 8 butterflies, I am entering in the Flutterby Wednesday #94 Challenge and the Quixotic Challenge #11-Flutter By. The stamps that I used are StampinUp. I ran the green panel through the Cuttlebug embossing folder. I punched daisies, butterflies and leaves and added gems. Thanks for stopping by!

  1. This is just beautiful, and makes me wish for Spring even more than I already do! Very beautifully colored, and I love the dry embossing too. Thank you so much for playing along with us at the MMSC this week!
