I chose a clean and simple design with LOTS of gingham! (Okay, maybe the fussy cutting part wasn't quite as simple as I imagined, hee!)
I stamped the rectangle frame from Frame-It in pink ink, and then made a little swag of flowers to scatter around the border using an image (and sentiment) from Spring Baskets.
I paper-pieced the flowers with gingham paper from A Muse Studio. Some bouquets are lying flat and others are popped up with dimensionals.
Will be back to hop later to catch some of that fresh spring air!
Thanks for stopping by today :)
Supplies:
Stamps: Spring Baskets, Frame-It, Waltzingmouse Stamps
Paper: A Muse Studio Gingham papers and Sage cardstock, PTI white
Ink: Memento Black, A Muse Studio Bubblegum
Other: dimensionals
Lovely pastel spring colours Kelly!
ReplyDeletewow your paper pieced creation is just adorable - and the gingham just says spring in bunches!
ReplyDeleteWell, of course there are lovely GINGHAM flowers on your creation Kelly! what great spring colors - and super fussy cutting!! love the pink frame border too!
ReplyDeleteTruly an amazing spring card - beautiful. TFS - amazing inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card! I very much like the fresh flowers that remind me of spring. And I also like the gingham flowers which just look great. That was really a lot of cutting but the result is really very pretty.
At this occasion I thank you for your comment to my CAS card for the Waltzingmouse challenge. I try to participate more often in the future, but sometimes time just flies and before I know another week has passed... And tomorrow we'll leave for our winter holidays, so again no chance to participate in the new challenge...
Kind regards
Carola

ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, sometimes cutting is part of the relaxing for me. Nice cutting! I love the gingham. My youngest sister is the same age as my daughter, and she just had a baby. So I had to laugh when you wrote how you're so much younger than your sisters.
