Kudos to Irene aka DandI93 for being chosen Featured Stamper 217. I love your simple cards and I CHERISH your sweet comments. You are most deserving to be featured.
I very much enjoyed looking at your great cards and I thought I picked a very simple one that I could do fast today. That didn't happen. I don't know how you do it, but I hope my card does you honor. This is what I chose to case...
But instead of Warm Summer I sent for the Hope of Spring, as "hope" seems to be more common than actuall Spring around here. (as I sit here shivering.)
I kept the basic layout but changed most everything else. The butterfly seems to be only half there and is made with a dictionary page with the definition of Spring. Here's hoping...

Ah, yes... hope springs eternal as I look out the window and see a sleety mess falling out of the April sky! Love your 'definition of spring' butterfly... he's partially blue with the cold. LOVE your collage style!

Wow...I just love this. I usually know exactly why, but I'm not sure precisely what drew me in. I think that it is the way that you've brought together so many disparate elements with different threads; texture, color, shape and make it flow and draw me back around the card. I really, really, really like this. Very nice work, Carol.
