I made my card with the oh so cute "Spring Fling" set

Happy Spring det

♥♥♥!

Happy Spring blog

Supplies:
Cardstock: (white, green, blue, pink, yellow) The Paper Co., Patterned Paper: Lily bee, Stamps: (flowers, leaves, sentiment from the Spring Fling set) Paper Smooches, Ink: (black) Memento, Twine: Paper Smooches, Trim: Wrights, Corner Rounder: We R Memory Keepers
Size: 4.25"x5.5"


I took a variety of flowers and leaves from the set, stamped them on various cardstocks, cut them out and clustered them on my card. I added a bit of eyelet trim and gingham background paper to up the country charm factor. The sentiment is also from the "Spring Fling" set and the bakers twine is from the Paper Smooches Store.

So, it is quite possible that at this very moment I'm on a plane to southern California for CHA! I am soooo excited! Hope I meet lots of you there!

Heidi

BTW we did finally get our power back yesterday...just in time for me to leave lol!
