The CAS challenge this week is Wishing for Spring. I always love it when everything starts to turn green after the bare browns and greys of winter, so this card reflects my wish for spring green-ness!
I'm not sure where the tree stamp comes from - I think it may have been a freebie with a magazine. I know you don't really get lilac and yellow blossom, but they are my favourite spring colours, so my tree has them!
I did a spine-fold on my card, and the sentiment is computer-generated and is by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
Thank you so much for popping in to look!

Sally, I'm a huge fan of this bright and springy color combo. Those pops of lilac are just spectacular and I love that sentiment. I just love how the lilac ribbon helps pop the colors of the flowers. GORGEOUS, my friend, GORGEOUS!! TFS!!

Ooh, a spine-fold -- neat! Never thought to do that. And hey, somewhere in the world, maybe in the Amazon, you might get those lilac and yellow blossoms! Very nice.

I know what you mean about getting some green in the trees. Nothing more uplifting than the first leaves on the trees in Spring. Love your colors and it would be awesome to see a tree with yellow and lilac blooms. Love your cheery card!
