February Blog Hop at Papertrey Ink
Here's this month's challenge:
Easter and other spring celebrations will be here before you know it! And besides, there's nothing better to beat the winter doldrums than to turn our minds towards those first spring flowers bursting through the ground and the birds returning with their sweet songs. Your challenge this month is to put a little "spring" into your step, by incorporating the flowers, familiar sights and colors of spring into a project. Think birds nests containing newly laid eggs, flowers in pretty pastels, new green leaves, baby chicks and anything else that speaks to your creative soul! We look forward to seeing all of your interpretations of this fun challenge!
I used my favorite Papertrey color - Aqua Mist. It's actually one of the first colors that Papertrey ever came out with in cardstock, ribbon, and ink. And I still use it more than any other in my papercrafting. I paired it with three stamp sets from Papertrey Ink - Birds of a Feather, Out on a Limb, and one of the new sets, Beyond Basic Borders.
It seems that lately, my friends are popping up pregnant all the time! So now I have this card all made and ready to send off the next time I know someone who makes that special announcement!
