Last week we had a taste of spring with one day that the temperatures made it up to 60. Then it crashed down to the teens. I really am wanting spring so I decide to make a card today that would remind me that spring is coming. I was drawn to the colors in the dp that I used on my crimped envelope. I wrapped the dp around before I cut the envelope apart. I used last week's rubberband technique to add heat embossed copper to the envelope. I added two butterflies and copper cording to finish the envelope. For the card I stamped, masked and colored, flowers and butterflies. While I was perusing the galleries today I liked how Dawn used the itty bitty on her card. It reminded me that I hadn't used mine in a long time. I used my corner punch to finish up this card. What do you think?

That is certainly a real breath of Spring. We had a couple of mild days here but it's set to get cold again, with heavy rain and hail showers forecast.
I really like your rubber band background.
