Spring Garden

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Surprise!  I bet that you thought there would be tulips in my spring garden!


But I had this stencil out when Seize the Birthday asked me to guest design for
their challenge this week. Thanks so much for the honor, my friends.


 

Let's go see the spring gardens the Design Team and other Surprise Party Guest
have done at Seize the Birthday.

Oh, and that lady bug is another die from the Alex Syberia Cheerful Meadow set.
I do love these dies!

  6. Fantastic card, my dear Bonnie. I love how you combined stenciling on the card panel, on a smaller square piece, and embossing on the card panel. Great design, and the ladybug is so sweet.

  16. I love how you've combined the stencil and embossing for a fabulous textured look and then used another piece (I believe that's stenciled too) for the sentiment. That's a great idea. Thank you for this wonderful card for us at Seize the Birthday challenge!
