Spring blooms!

Hello and welcome!!

Spring is in the air, yay!! So, I made a card with some fresh Spring blooms.

First, I die cut and glued the scalloped panel to my card base. Then die cut the heart from burlap paper and the flowers from patterned paper.

The sentiment was gold embossed on a piece of teal cardstock, then glued to the heart.

Finally, I embellished the flowers with gemstones and adhered them to the heart.

Here's my card...

Today I want to share a pretty and colorful  birthday card. It's a simple card to make.
I simply stamped the butterfly using three different color combos to create a rainbow effect in my card. Then, I gold embossed the sentiment on a strip of vellum and... that's it!

Here's my card...
