Thanks a bunch!

Hi everyone! It's been a super busy weekend and I treated myself to a little time in the scrap room this afternoon to create a springtime card to enter into some challenges. Seems that everyone is so ready for spring to arrive and there are lots of springtime challenges going on! ;) We've been very fortunate here in north Florida to not have had much of the severe weather that a lot of others have had this winter.

I used the cutest little Gina K Designs stamp set duo that I just love! I kept with a simple white and navy blue color scheme and angled all the elements. I colored up the wheelbarrow in shades of "steel" (gray) and the flowers in dark purple, pink, red, yellow and green. I used a bit of Stardust pen in the center of the flowers for a little shimmer.

If you angle your monitor upward just a bit, you can see the white on white stamped background that I created with a fairly large GKD background stamp. This turned out really neat and is a great addition to the CAS look! I finished it with double wrapped navy blue twine and a small button from my stash, along with some silver gumdrops in the upper right corner.

I stamped a simple Pink Cat Studio friendship greeting on the inside.
