My friends over at the Paper Players challenge have a timely challenge for us this week. And I'm squeaking in just under the wire with my card. The Spring Flowers theme is perfect for this time of year. I've got daffodils, iris and crocus blooming my yard right now but my card features another spring staple; forsythia! I stuck to the traditional colors and gave the card a bit of a rustic feel.
I started with a Basic White thick card base then added a panel of Peach Pie, then topped that with a layer of a nice woodgrain pattern from the Country Woods DSP.
I tore the edges from a square of vellum to give my flowers a featured spot. The flowers are stamped with Peach Pie and Lemon Lolly ink, the leaves are Old Olive and the branch Pecan Pie. I fussy cut the sprig and added some die cut leaves in two-toned Old Olive cardstock. The two-toned cardstock gives just the right amount of variation between the 2 shades. The whole sprig is popped on dimensionals.
The sentiment is stamped in Old Olive and then die cut. Before adhering the sentiment pieces I adhered a length of Peach Pie Bordered Ribbon in a zigzag.
The embellishments are Lemon Lolly Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots. These pastel dots are perfect for all those spring flower card we are making these days!
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?

The rustification of this set is gorgeous! Such a simple thing to give it a wood-look DSP and let the flowers pop against it. The vellum torn square is another simple idea that makes all the difference by drawing the eye in to the flowers. Thanks for joining in with us at the Paper Players - even if just under the wire. :-)
