Spring and butterflies challenge hosted by Anne

I'm joining in Anne's monthly challenge, which can be found by clicking on her name.






This collage background stamp is from Hero Arts (K4890) called CardArt Thank You Flourish.

Actually this card is a joint effort and has a little story.I have wanted this stamp for a long time and finally got it. It was Linda Brandberry (Lin) who got me interested when she used it. So thanks Lin for the inspiration.
The striped panel came from Evelyn Spikes, the distressed die-cut came from Suzanne Czosek and the little hearts came from Tomo in Japan! So thank you all very much ladies!

The idea is to spread happy surprises! And cheerful thoughts of Spring! So I will be sending this card to someone, but that will be a surprise!

Then I made a little tag with the same stamp image.


Have a lovely day!

  1. Stunning! Both the tag and the card. I saw that pink butterfly in my google reader and had to jump over and check the card out. Love how you layered the collage stamp over PP and then added the die cut sentiment with the butterfly! Perfect combination of all the beautiful elements!
