I love Impression Obsession dies - especially those Spiral Flowers! I also find myself using the leafy branch die on everything lately. I'm so tired of shoveling snow. Since it was a birthday challenge, at this point I couldn't think of anything nicer than spring! It may be difficult to see but I used flower soft in small spots on the branches to emulate buds. I also used leaves from the leafy branch die on the tree and cut more branches and weaved them into the grass. I liked the added pop of color of the blue leaves behind the rose flowers. The yellow flowers on the tree were created by only using half of the tiny rolled daisy. After cutting each flower out, I sponged distress ink on it, let it dry and then cut the die cut in half before rolling it. I used both halves of the die cut. It thinned the flowers out a little, making them the right size to turn the bare tree into a flowering tree.

Beautiful, Jenny. With more snow predicted to day, I'm keeping thoughts of spring in my heart, and this card is just full of spring goodness. Love the dimension of your flowers and leaves...it's a wonderful piece of papercrafting!
