It's the 25th of February already and time for the monthly blog hop at Papertrey Ink. My goodies arrived early in the week, and I was anxious to put some of them to use.
Here's the challenge inspiration piece, and the charge was to create a springtime card--with spring-like images or colors.
I chose colors primarily and used a pad of lovely papers I picked up over the Christmas holiday--"Colorwash" by Pink Paislee. It's a good antidote to the cold, gray weather we continue to endure in western New York. We got a few hours of much needed sunshine yesterday, but there's not much in the forecast for the rest of the week.
The Spring Moss cardstock was a good match for the colors of the two patterned papers I chose. I've seen a lot of patterned papers used in layers set at an angle and thought I'd give it a try. I originally had the tag at an angle as well, but carefully took it off and replaced it after I saw it in the photograph. Every now and then, the photograph shows a design flaw that simply must be fixed. The Tag Sale #9 die is a new purchase, but the stamp set used for the sentiment and flower is one of my old favorites, "Daydreamer." This will be perfect for one of my friend's spring birthday.
