This week at
it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge she's saying, "Signs of Spring!" meaning she would like to see those makes that are about, or remind us of, spring.
We could use some signs of spring 'round here. Had a couple of beautiful days last week followed by a couple of days of high winds, snow and freezing rain. On Monday morning it was 11ºC and pouring rain and 0ºC by 4pm with high winds and a snow squall watch in effect. Boooooo
Anyhoo, I guess we can celebrate spring in paper form with a card like this....
It took me a bit to come up with something for this challenge, everything I was trying was....well....let's say boooooooooo again. Finally settled on doing something outside my norm by covering the front of a card with felt flower die cuts. I then decided it needed something just a smidge more so I mounted the card front on a card front. And sorted.
Why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Jan, love the felt flowers, I remember the days when we had to cut them ourselves and love the sentiment on the vellum..

This is so adorable Jan! The .flowers make for a beautiful patterned design. So creative! The vellum shadow behind the sentiment is a great idea and lets the color show through but makes the sentiment stand out. Thanks for sharing with the March Challenge at A Cut Above
