I am pleased to post the Color Challenge this week. The colors I selected are: Fresh Freesia, Boho Blue, Soft Seafoam with Spring for dessert. I know some of you have not yet been blessed with spring weather. Others of you are now in your autumn weather. I hope creating with these colors will delight you and remind you of what you enjoy about springtime.
For my card, I die-cut a bird from patterned paper and build my card around it. I used my Paper Florist dies for the first time to create the flowers & leaves. The flowers are layered, tipped the petal edges with white ink, added die-cut white & sparkly centers. I was intimated by the Paper Florist die-set, but now that I have used it, I love it!
The green strip was in my bin of scraps. It was embossed with Embossed Brick EF. Not what I would have chosen, but it seemed to work. The blue was embossed with stripes.
The Springtime Greetings sentiment was heat embossed in white and die-cut into a banner.
We hope you will join in and have fun! TFL

Diane, there's so much to love on this pretty card. What jumed out to me is the white tips on the petals. That is such a great idea, and gives the flowers such depth. Lovely card!
