Papertrey February Blog Hop

Never try to make a card at the last minute.  I knew about the Papertrey February Blog Hop a while ago and waited until tonight to make a card.  Two problems:  It didn't go well under duress and pictures taken at night don't turn out well.  Here's the inspiration photo.


Spring!  Sounds wonderful, doesn't it.  Warm rain, budding flowers, singing birds.  I went with the flowers on my card.


I used PTI's Tipped Tops and Wonderful Words: Hello stamp set . This is my initiation into enamel dots.  I happened to have some in the right colors and that white panel needed "something".

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  I love reading your comments so please leave one and I'll return the favor.

You've got the dots! Awesome : ) I like how the tipped panel mimics the italic font of your hello die. A great pair! Glad you were able to join the hop. I totally forgot about it and jumped into the craft room this afternoon. I really should have been doing other things though : )

Bobby, this is a sweet happy spring card! Know what you mean about nitetime pics. They just don't show the glow! But I can see the lovely details on your card, and pretty colors. glad you made it!

Love the way you used the tipped panels! I know I can't create under pressure - you did great.

I've learned the hard way that taking pictures at night can be frustrating!!

I LOVE the spring look of your card. (I'm so tired of the snow and freezing temperatures.) The coordinating enamel dots are a perfect touch!
