Hello!
Happy Wednesday! I hope you're having a great start to your week! Is it spring where you live? Or maybe you're heading into fall? We are supposed to be in spring. The key words are "supposed to be". We are expecting 15 cm of snow between tonight and tomorrow. It's supposed to drop below freezing so it will be a disaster. I guess winter isn't quite done with us yet.
We have a brand new sketch this week over at Freshly Made Sketches! Our hostess this week is the lovely Michelle Langley! Michelle is one of our newest team members so make sure you head over to her page and say hello!
I had some butterflies and flowers sitting on my desk so I thought they would work perfectly for this card! They were already cut, they just needed a little inking and they worked perfectly. I found a strip of gingham paper that I thought also worked well. It's old and I have no idea where it came from but sometimes those are the best finds!!!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Black, Calypso Coral, Mango Melody, Sky Blue, Gold (All SU)

I love the pops of color against the dark papers and I'm a big fan of gingham. Just lovely, Jen!
ReplyDeleteJen, those little bits were waiting for their spotlight! Today is certainly the perfect day to make them shine!
ReplyDeleteOur Spring in Michigan has been chilly and VERY wet this week! Rain, rain, go away I say! Hope that snow doesn't stick around!

Such a pretty card! I love the colors you used. That dark background makes those pretty flowers and butterfly POP off the front.
ReplyDeleteThis whole mishmash of seasons is crazy! Good thing you just brought the spring to the craft room. Love these colors!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it when you can use what's on your desk? You have used those butterflies and flowers beautifully on your striking b&w background!
ReplyDeleteSo much snow in mid April is not OK. You made it better buy showing off these beautiful flowers though!
ReplyDeleteWhat a classy design, Jen! The black background is so stylish!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love that these were “found items”. The best kinds of cards! The flower sure pop on that background. I saw your snow! Ugh!
