CAS54 Spring Birthday

Photo Details

Poster: ApricotRose

This is my second card for the Wishing for Spring CAS challenge this week. I have a lot of family birthdays happening in March, so I did a Birthday Wishes card to fit with the 'wishing' theme. My favourite spring flowers are purple and yellow crocuses, so I made a flower in those colours from the Polka Dot Punches set.

I scored lines to draw the eye to the flower with my Scor-Pal, then balanced out the design with a rounded corner and a little flourish from one of the SU Yummy stamps.

Thanks so much for stopping by my gallery!

These colours say 'Spring' to me too.... lovely card, the score lines are a nice finishing touch.
Definitely a card to lift the spirits as mine are when the the snowdrops and yellow crocuses are out in the garden soon to be followed by the purples ones .... then I know Spring is really on the way!!!
