Arches and Spring Roses ~ HSS459, TTTC266, TGIFC516

Hello Stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge for March.  There are a variety of images to get you inspired!  I was inspired by the roses and foliage and added the brushed brass butterflies to mimic the butterfly from the picture.  

 

I'm also playing along with Tic Tac Toe Challenge #266.  I used the middle portion of the board: Flowers, Spring, 3D or Dimension. 

I was also inspired by the Sketch from TGIF Challenges #516.  I used the sketch kind of loosely by letting the roses and flower cluster act as my three vertical elements on the right side. 

I'm really loving these Arches dies.  They add a cool architectural look to any card.  Much more fun than just rectangle layers.    

 

Happy Birthday, Mom! HSS458, PP727, IB325

Hey there stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge for March.  I decided to use the Mixed Florals again this time and it works itself in perfectly for The Paper Players Theme Challenge #727: Spring Flowers.  These tulips are the perfect spring flower.  I really like the style of these flowers and I thing they are beautiful colored brightly!  I'm also playing along with Inspired By #325 because of the gingham.  I just love gingham anything and I've used it here in the designer paper and the ribbon.  

This card was lovingly made for my mom for her birthday on March 5th.  Happy Birthday, Mom!
