Todays Challenge was really a challenge that I enjoyed... I decided that I was going to combine a few together...so here is a card for Spring... yikes... I am really into the spring mood... I had made these dogwood blossoms yesterday and they fit right into the color theme for the other two challenges... so I had to use them also on this Sketch challenge...
I made the dogwood from punches.. and then added some yellow seed beads for the centers... I used a cuddlebug folder for the back ground paper and then added the other panels of colors... I wanted you to see the charming bird... so I folded down the corner... and punched it with a corner punch by Martha Stewart... (did you see her new ones... OMG... I will be broke !!!! I want them all of course... NOW) I wanted the flowers to have a nice base, so I added the center of the Fleur Di Lis and then put a bow on... some pearls in the corners of the top panel that is stamped... just some spring flowers.. I am really into SPRING....
Hope it isn't too springy for you... and that you enjoy it... thanks for taking a look... and Have a fun creative day playing and making cards.. it is too cold to garden... so garden with paper... YEAH!!!!

Bonnie this is gorgeous! There is so much to look at here! I love how you did those dogwood flowers- very realistic looking, and the textures and dimension are just fabulous! Love the torn and folded edges, too!
TFS, and have a happy, healthy, and creative New Year!
