~March Papertrey Blog Hop~








Here is my card, based on Nichole's photo.


*Papertrey Ink Wreath for All Seasons (lil' flower),Papertrey Ink Communique Curves sentiment,Papertrey ink Premium dye true black,MS ink,Ranger Tim Holtz distress ink mustard,American Crafts satin ribbon,Georgia Pacific white cardbase,K&Company teal*



I inked the tiny flower from Wreath for All Seasons and had fun.


I've been spotting Forsythia and it's stunning array.


It's hard to get out of my head!


Check out the inspirational photo:




I used some teal cardstock I've had for years (before I was even a cardmaker) to frame my white/yellow design.




I've got some visiting to do...have a beautiful day!

Oooh, this is so creative and original. I love what you created with those little flowers, and I love how you knotted the ribbon at the bottom and how you stamped the sentiment. Nice job. ;-)

I had to laugh when I saw your card. I've been almost obsessed with convincing my husband we need to plant a Forsythia bush this year. Beautiful card!

Lovely card. Now that you mentioned it, the flower does remind me of Forsythia . Great ribbon treatment.

You're right, that definitely does look like Forsythia!! I love the way you stamped the sentiment several times in different colors, too :)
