All Spring & Florals Card

All Spring & Florals Card

Hello everyone! March has indeed come in like a Lion in southeastern Idaho. Lots of snow and rain... hoping for sunnier days ahead. But with all this snow, its a good reason to craft! PLUS its National Crafting Month! Hope you make some time to craft on this last day of March!

My mom had to take an unwanted break from crafting for the last half of this month due to surgery but she is back and crafting a bit! She got a few cards done yesterday and is entering them into a few challenges this week! 

This card is inspired by My Favorite Things Color/Sketch Challenge this week. 

Here is the Card:

Holly used:

  • My Favorite Things Pawsome Prints designer paper
  • My Favorite Things Springing for Houndstooth designer paper
  • Echo Park Carta Bella Flora No. 6 Designer Paper
  • Flower dies
