Sending Springtime Wishes {PSIC #29}

Hi Friends!

I am kicking off March with a Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge.

I know I could use some spring! I had little to no luck with natural light trying to get a good photograph. Ready for some sunshine!!! It's another day of Snow and ice here! March is coming in like an Ice Lion!

I started this card with a card base of white cardstock onto which I layered some aqua patterned paper found in my scrap box of leftovers. I added the striped paper to the center adding a punched border below it. I stamped and paper pieced the flower and pot adhering to the center of the layered circles. A sentiment greeting was stamped in black ink on a banner which was mounted with foam tape. Finally, a length of white crochet trim was added to the top of the card.

Paper Sweeties February Day 1 Sneak Peek and update

Hi!

I wanted to edit in a personal note to update my bloggy friends what has been going on with me. I have been recovering from a shoulder separation as a result from an injury I received on the 31st of January. I have been immobile, so that is why I have not been around to visit and I have missed some postings. Luckily I had several projects completed ahead of time. It's been quite painful and was a scary experience as I hit head first and an ER visit with a slow recovery. I am grateful because the outcome could have been a lot worse. I am breaking free from my split to type this long paragraph before we get to the reason why you might be here today.

So Welcome to the kickoff of the February Paper Sweeties Countdown release where the design team shares peeks of brand new products set to be released on the 15th. All this winter cold and weather we are having has me really longing for spring, so I worked with a set called Welcome Spring.

I've started the card by pulling together papers that reminded me of spring. I stamped the focal image in green ink and colored the leaves in with copics. I am showing off two of the sentiments that come in the set.
