Happy Spring
Today really looked like Spring here--blue sky & sunshine with temperature in the 60s. Hopefully my card will bring a touch of Spring to those of you still in Winter's grip. Pink is my favorite color, so I was delighted to see the Dynamic Duos challenge to use soft pink & soft gray. I pulled out an old favorite ChatterBox double-sided paper. I have 2 full sheets & part of another one, so time to let a bit more of it go to someone else--LOL! This is my first card using some of the flowers in the beautiful pink box of pink goodies I won from Mrs. A. I used MFT dies Dizzy Doily & Contempo Cage & Penny Black's leaves. The sentiment is by Stampendous stamped in Memento Gray Flannel. Hard to tell, but the birdcage has a beautiful sheen from my Wink of Stella pen. I used to think you shouldn't combine pearls & gems, but then I saw people doing it & why not?! Love using these soft pink pearls along with the gray gems--gonna need to keep them on hand. The pink & gray papers were snippets, so I'll also enter Pixies Snippets Playground.
Two more days to get ready to bring home our puppy. We've been re-reading our book on Standard Schnauzers & reminding ourselves of things we need to do. I'm so glad I won't be working for a few weeks so I can really focus on giving him a good start in our family. Thanks for all the well-wishes. You'll be seeing a lot of pictures & hopefully he'll have a name!

ReplyDeleteWe had two beautiful warm days too! But now the blizzard like conditions are expected this afternoon ~ UGH! Your PRETTY PRETTY card has lifted my spirits though! Love the cluster of blooms Greta. Everything is so pretty and delicate. Wish my little "Sir Maximus" aka- Max could be there to welcome your new boy home!!

ReplyDeleteThis looks like an awesome centerpiece for a beautiful spring wedding, Great! It's spectacular!! Be safe traveling to get ... I just typed about 15 variations of the name Keesha in memory, but it just got silly. I do like a shortened version of one of them though, which is "Skee." Can't wait to see the pictures! Hugs, Darnell

ReplyDeleteGreta...this is just beautiful. I love that bird cage, love the way it looks like it is hanging and those flowers just the perfect finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty & I love the light gray birdcage against that soft pink shade. Simply lovely. Saw your beautiful card highlighted at the Snippets Playground. Yes, it speaks Spring! TFS & Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI completely missed this card Greta (due to nursing Wimpy) so glad you said on your comment to me. Had to come and find it and wow don't those flowers look good. I have just used up some mauve and pink sponge ones from the same outlet and I'm pleased with how they look on the project I have made for a GD spot so can't show yet. Hugs Mrs A.
