I love crafting, especially rubber stamping. Most weekends I can be found surrounded by paper, rubber stamps and ink.

Happy Spring!

Hello stamping friends,

We're celebrating three things today. Spring, a new Paper Players challenge and, Jaydee's birthday. Wishing you a very happy day, Jaydee!

Yes, it's time for another Paper Players challenge, and it's all about the Vernal Equinox. Our birthday girl is our hostess, and her challenge is "clean and simple" Spring.



Using the photo for inspiration, here's what I came up with for today's challenge.



The flowers were stamped at the top and bottom of the white panel with Memento tuxedo black and colored with Copics. I trimmed the panel down from 4.25 to 3.75 inches wide and then layered it over  a plaid paper strip with fun foam to raise it up. I kept the embellishments very simple, adding just 3 enamel dots.

You'll find more awesome inspiration when you visit the rest of the DT's blogs:

  9. Colleen, a belated THANK YOU for my birthday wishes :-) ... and a belated comment on your gorgeous card. I love the plaid down the side and how you tied it into the colors in the flowers. The layout is fabulous - I need to CASE it! Really beautifully colored and your placement of the enamel and gold dots is perfect.
