This image from the Progressive Challenge at Limited Runs is so perfect for spring (which hasn't arrived at my house yet - how about yours?) Each day with a freezing temperature makes me wish more strongly for spring.
Before I had decided what to do for the background, I saw that the Color challenge at The Outlawz gave us one color (green), an option to choose two other colors from the inspiration photo (see below) - I chose pink and pale blue - and the twist was to make our own background. I sorted through the dp scraps on my desk, added a strip of washi tape, and laid them all together on the card front to make the background. Fortunately, all the dp scraps were distressed and worked well together.
I colored the image with ProMarkers and cut it with a stitched Unbranded die. The glossy, pink frame was cut with a Cottage Cutz pinpoint die. I thought they complemented each other. The pale pink satin ribbon was a left over scrap and the deep pink ribbon for the bow was in my stash. I added a tiny gemstone to it.

There is something so beautiful about pink and green together, Connie, and you've brought them together even more beautifully with those amazing background papers, and sweet image. I imagine you are REALLY wondering where spring is after the winter events the past week! YIKES! Even snow in San Diego!? What's this world coming to. In the meantime, we have record breaking highs. Thanks for sharing your darling card! Wishing you a great week-end. Hugs, de
