Hello, treasured friends! I am unexpectedly away but will be back soon to sprinkle love all over your beautiful blogs! I'm posting today on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog with a sweet springtime-inspired card. Like many, I am eager for the beauty of spring after an atypical winter. Thankfully gorgeous Wild Orchid Crafts flowers bloom all year long.♥︎
The sweetness of spring guided my design, where animal friends frolic amongst the stunning WOC goodies.♥︎ This was made for another cancer warrior who needs to be surrounded by pure sweetness! I used several Wycinanka chippies, all of which have been covered in crackle paste. The tiny birdies are from Memory Box dies, while the wavy border is from Marianne Design.
I am thoroughly in love with mini-sweetheart blossoms... they couldn't be more precious! I nestled in a few sunshiny yellow ones for little sunbeams. The butterfly resting atop the swirly Easter egg chippie is from Sue Wilson. Gorgeous and whimsical WOC trims are layered and divided with a beautiful flat-back pearl string.
Even the foliage is sweetened with pink... I can't seem to stop using these darling colorful leaves.♥︎ It's frigid outside, but spring is in full force all over my craft desk. :) The gorgeous papers are from LemonCraft's Just Love Me collection.♥︎
Thank you for visiting and I wish you a lovely day!♥︎

Hello my friend. It's always such a treat to see you've posted something new. This is just breathtaking. Just adore the papers, such soft colours and dainty designs, perfectly fitting together! The beautiful border is just a lovely way to separate layers and makes a wonderful cubby for the wooden sentiment! All of my favourite Karen things are present, pearls and laces and lots of pretty flowers! WOC must be over the moon every time you make a creation for them!
