This is my card for IC381. Riding a bike with a basketful of flowers on a fine spring day sounds really good to me. And Spring IS coming. Everyone's talking about it. I couldn't make up my mine on my inspiration as there were so many good ones and I clicked back and forth so many times that someone on the Madewell site asked me if I needed help. So... here are the two I combined.
The top striped piece is from a Christopher and Banks shopping bag. The denim is from my old painting shirt (found a clean spot) Lace is from my vintage collection. Flower is a Prima with a jewel and stamps are Unity Itty Bitty. I am dreaming for Spring.

well, YOU know this is one right straight to my heart! I do love all the little touches that are just inviting Spring...the bright yellow flower, dainty lace (Queen Anne's) on a gentle incline, a basket full of violets...it tis a great day! AND a wonderful card

Terrific card with "found" elements, Carol....very creative. Lovely layout tying them all together so well. (I'm one of those wanting spring desperately too! We are expecting 6-8" of snow tonight.)

Isn't it sad that we have to dream of Spring instead of enjoying it? Although the sun is out here, but it's cold.
I love your card. The denim is fabulous and it looks like it was easy to stamp onto. Way to recycle too. Wonderful inspired card GF.
(not a good day for me today. I don't know why either, just stiff and sore)

I absolutely love this. The bobbin lace is the perfect touch and adding denim..a stroke of genius!! This is a mostly denim site..why didn't I think of that!! Funny story about the flipping back and forth..it was hard to make up your mind. LOL
