DDABC22S: make it spring like. I'm probably stretching this one to be an S card - I used the stamp set Swirly Bird and Swirly Scribbles thinlits for my S, I have gold Spots, and I think it is spring like.
CC617: Old olive, pink pirouette, and blushing bride. Perfect colors for a spring-y card.
This isn't quite what I had envisioned in my head. One of these days! I embossed the gold spots, then stamped beneath each of the scribbles in the color challenge colors. The leaves are two step stamps. The gold glimmer paper sentiment covers a mistake. Happy Birthday was supposed to be stamped on the base in Blushing Bride but I should have used my Misti to do it. Trying to correct it created a case of blurry stamping so I decided a bit more gold would cover the error and rescue the card.
Thanks for looking!

Catherine, you are getting some much needed paper therapy in with this absolutely gorgeous card! I love these wonderful swirly roses in the pretty pinks. Your sentiment looks like it belongs here so I would never know it covers any kind of a mistake. I love the touch of gold you added to this wonderful card that is so perfect for Spring! Hugs my friend! ~Karen.

I love the embossed gold dots, they just look cool! And way to go on disguising a boo boo! (I am the Queen of "what can I do to fix this"- I had to do it on 2 out of 3 cards at stmaping Tuesday) It's a very nice card, Catherine.

Splendid! It definitely works for Letter S. Anything goes as long as it starts with the letter of the week. Love your swirly flowers. Love the gold embossing, adds texture and interest. We all need to do a little cover-up from time to time. That's what is so great about paper crafting! Fabulous job with the colors. You did great!

A wonderful way to use those die cut swirls. I just love those gold spots! This card speaks of hope and joy. Your joy of crafting and the hope to do more soon.

Ooh, Catherine, I love this, truly. Love the gold splatters. And I cannot tell you were trying to cover up errors at all. I think this turned out really well!

Oh Catherine, I just love this. I love the swirly set! I got the dies awhile back, when they were on sale. I still need the stamps. I love your gold embossed dots.. is that a stamp? I'm adding this to my favorites!!! Thanks so much for sharing! xoxo
