I've been hoping and wishing for Spring and I figured if I made a card with a spring feel, maybe spring would be just around the corner or, at the very least, it would put me in a spring mood. I chose Cool Caribbean as the base with Marigold Morning and Cranberry Crisp as the accent colors. It's hard to see in the photo but both the center of the flower and the body of the butterfly sparkle with Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I originally made the butterfly entirely sparkly, however, it detracted from the overall layout. I added the stitched ribbon to complete the design.
I designed this card on Sunday and my plan must have worked. It's been getting warmer and warmer each day. It was 61 degrees so I drove home this afternoon with the top down. I have a slight cold and a nagging cough but hey, I certainly couldn't pass up the opportunity.
Until next time...

This is a very pretty card...simple but effective!
