Welcome to Thursday’s hop! We have a fun sketch challenge for you today and I think you’ll like what you see from all those participating. Thanks for dropping in, whether you came from fabulous Tara or someone else, I’m glad you’re here. We’ve had a bit of snow this week & this card definitely says SPRING! Let’s take a peek…

I’ve used Vellum again and the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing folder for the card front, The Vellum is 5 1/4 x 8 1/4 scored at 4 1/8 and only the front is embossed. This bundle (Paradise Garden Bundle) will be available Mar 3 as part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.

One of the dies is this curvy piece that I’ve used for my large panel, cut from Lemon Lolly card stock. The leaf is stamped & die cut with parts of the Paradise Garden set.I used Soft Sea Foam ink on a Soft Sea Foam card stock. I used Iridescent Pearls in two sizes as embellishments, also the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack from the Annual Catalog – in Lemon Lolly of course to create the double bow.

On the inside of the front Vellum embossed panel is another of the strips die cut from Lemon Lolly and attached. It doesn’t exactly match, due to the curves, but I like the way it looks & it covers the adhesive. Facing on the inside… and in the same area as the Lemon Lolly panel facing it, is stamped a leaf image in Soft Sea Foam using the Paradise Garden stamp set. The sentiment is stamped in Daffodil Delight and uses Paradise Garden stamp set. I used a template from the curvy die cut to know exactly where to stamp 😁 This Basic White panel is added to the the Vellum, then the Vellum is attached to a Daffodil Delight piece 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

For the back of the card … another panel of Basic White stamped with the sentiment in Daffodil Delight using the Paradise Garden stamp set.

For the envelope I sued another leaf from the Paradise Garden stamp set & Soft Sea Foam ink to stamp both the front of the card & the flap.
