Love this color combo! Perfect for Christmas...if only this was a Christmas card, lol. I just finished making 40+ Christmas cards and I really wanted to do something else today. I think the red/green worked out OK for my spring card.
The clover was stamped twice on vanilla, water colored and die cut w/ the matching die. The daisies were stamped on white, water colored and fussy cut. The window was die cut and inked DTP and also sponged w/ the red Distress ink. The curtains were clear embossed on vanilla and sponged as well.
The vanilla honeycomb bg was clear embossed, so it's kind of subtle. I arranged the clover and cut apart daisies around my window and added a sentiment across the upper left corner. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
Thanks so much for looking! Close ups will be on my blog in just a bit and I'd love for you to drop by. The Write Stuff

What a beautiful card Julie!! I love the textures and paper patterns. I understand the desire to do other cards besides Christmas. This is a beautiful spring card that we can look forward to in a bunch of months. :>)
