Firstly, I want to wish everyone a happy 1st Day of Spring! Sure wish it felt like spring outside, since we got about four inches of snow today! But, the good news is that it's time to play along with one of my favorite challenges: CASology and the cue card for this week is 'Blossom'! Here is my card:
I thought the flower was plain by itself, so I started by embossing around the circle, then stamping the flower and sentiment. I simply added a few sequins and matted the panel on to a yellow card base...and that was it!
Wishing you all a fun and crafty weekend ~ Thanks so much for stopping by.
A fine card to commemorate spring, Barb - love your beautiful rose!
ReplyDeleteOooo, love this card, Barb! Beautiful flower and wonderful texture in the background! Boo for the snow! We are so lucky here in Minnesota - absolutely no snow on the ground. Hoping your days get warmer and sunnier soon! ♥
