Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things." ~Psalm 98:1
We've had a deluge of rain here for the past few days...more than I have seen in all the years of living here in Colorado. I think we came close to a record...but today, the sun came out and it is glorious with all the visible signs of spring following the rain!!
This card was made with the season of spring in mind...a season of renewal and flowers blooming, trees budding, birds singing, mallards quacking, geese ...well, what do geese do...hmmm?? We have a gaggle of geese that frequently visit the pond behind our house! Oh, yes, geese honking!!
Flourishes is issuing several challenges this week on their blog to welcome their new release for the month of May!! I chose this challenge, "Three in a Row." My card uses three elements: a die cut, lace, and pearls! There are actually two die cuts layered that my little singing bird is perched on! To view this challenge, visit here on the Flourishes blog.
Today's card is also being submitted to this week's Stampin' in Christ challenge to make a card using all things beautiful!
For my card, I used two nestabilities dies, the blossom and labels 4, Flourishes stamp set, prima papers, pearls, crochet lace, blue ribbon, and prima roses from the Flourishes store, and a bit of stardust stickles. The image was colored with copic markers!
Thanks for stopping in today!
You got it right, geese honk!!! Beautiful card Traci, Flourishes is releasing some great sets this month all right, hope you win!!! I vote for Traci!!! Both hands!!!

Your stamped image is a lovely match for the very pretty papers you used. My heart sinks a little when I read about all the rain and worries of flooding that some of you are experiencing over there at the moment. Hoping you all get to stay safe and not suffer too many ravages from the weather.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Traci! This is one of my favorite little Flourishes images. I will continue to hope for beautiful weather here. We only get an occasional day of sun here and there, and mostly when I'm at work.
ReplyDeleteTraci this is so pretty. I really love this entire set. The images are just "me". I really like the softness. I have such a hard time with soft colors. This really turned out great.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty card. Colorado sounds divine.
