My ssnotime33 challenge card, which was to make a simple spring card using green and pink and a flower. I love notimetostamps challenges when you need or only have time to make a simple card. I always want to embellish, embellish so Sharon's simple design are a stretch for me, but I always like the results.
I did dye my pink taffeta ribbon with Pixie Pink ink to match my paper and ink. I also (for the 1st time) used my PP marker to color just the edge of the pink taffeta bow, which is stacked with white taffeta ribbon.
Enjoy and Thanks Sharon for another inspiring challenge :-) Be sure and check out Sharon's wonderful Blog: Blogs at Splitcoaststampers

Beautiful card, Nancy! I LOVE the pixie pink and green galore with the white! Just the right amount of color--it still has that crisp, clean look! The pink taffeta, dyed with the marker is wonderful! Love it!

Lovely card! I always have the same problem when making cards, I never know when to stop! That's why Sharon's challenges are so great. You did a fabulous job with this one. TFS!
This is a beautiful and simple card! I love your liberal use of the color white--it sets off the pink and green very nicely and the cuttlebug background is a nice touch. I really like the edge coloring you did on the ribbon; it's so neat.
