Paper Pros April Challenge – Spring Flowers

It’s Spring!  But unless I put some snow on this card, it’s hard to believe!  The Paper Pros Challenge this month is spring flowers so I started with Karen Burniston’s Flower Pot Pop Up dies and the Flower and Bee die.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up’s Beautiful Bouquet.  The card is 5 x 5.

I die cut a circle and made a wreath with the flowers.  The flowers are accented with white gel pen and Crystal Nuvo Dots in the centers.

Inside is the Flower Pot Pop Up and lots of flowers and bees.  When you are adding things inside the Flower Pot and around it, you need to check that things aren’t hanging outside of the card and that the embellishments on the inside don’t keep the card from closing.

I embossed the pot with Stampin Up’s Basket Weave embossing fold and a bit of Crumb Cake ink.  Very springy!  Thanks for taking a look and make sure to check out the other Paper Pros to see what they did with the challenge theme.  Hugs, Fran

Bike Ride

Thought I’d play around with this new set, Bike Ride, and the matching die!  The background paper is Pick a Pattern and I used the Flirty Flamingo pattern for my colors.  The sentiment is from Beautiful Bouquet – which is full of beautiful sentiments!  The clouds in the background were very gently stenciled using the new Pattern Party Decorative Masks in Soft Sky.  Hugs, Fran
