How about a spring card?  With the warmer, sunny weather I am finding the incentive to make some cards that reflect the season.

Today I am sharing a card that we made at my stamp club last Saturday.  I love how the color Granny  Apple Green speaks to what is happening outside.  Grasses are starting to sprout and the needles on the evergreen trees are looking brighter. 

I love the look of the piece of Designer Series Paper I chose.  It is from the retired Dandy Designs paper pack.  I hope you were fortunate to get this paper during Sale-A-Bration – it has 48 sheets of colorful designs that can be used so many ways.  I also used the crosshatch embossing folder from the 3-Pack of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (part of the current Online Exclusives).
