A Green Kinda Day!

Good Monday Morning!

Spring officially begins at the end of this week so I thought I'd start celebrating a bit early with some spring flower creations!

My first card for the week is one that I created using papers from the Graphic 45 Place in Time collection and the Pansy stamp set from Flourishes A Year in Flowers 1 stamp set.



Flourishes Year in Flowers 1 Pansy
and Graphic 45 Place in Time March Cut-Aparts



Pretty simple but definitely has me thinking about spring and watching everything wake up from its winter's nap.

I hope you'll stop by tomorrow when I have another Spring creation to brighten your day. (Can you tell I actually set some time aside this past weekend to color and play!)

Until then, take some time to enjoy the changing of the season!

Giving it all the Green I've Got!

Today is the last "Green" Challenge for the Dreameaver Design Team so I thought I'd go out with a bang and put as much green as I could onto one little card. Not sure if it all works but at least its green! (I dedicate this card to Kristi, my fellow Dreamer, who does artsy and complex way better than I do!)

The Dreamweaver balloon was first pasted with embossing paste (green, of course) and then colored with Metallic F/X (Ivy Garden and Kiwi, of course). The background paper is Graphic 45.

So...I wasn't really happy with "Take 1" so I did a re-do. As much as I fight it (and for those of you who have known me for a long time, this will come as no surprise), I really am a "clean-and-simple" kinda gal. I dress that way, I cook that way, I basically live that way, except for my hoarding of craft supplies! So...I did a "re-do of this card, much more aligned with my natural CAS style. Is it too simple?

Same paper (Graphic 45) and same stencil (Dreamweaver). Also paste embossed, but this time with original matte paste and then colored with Metallic F/X (Ivy Garden, Kiwi and Gold Dust).
Now before you head off to create your "green creation", go check out the other Dreamweaver Design Team blogs (links on right). Remember, you only have until midnight on the 29th to get your submission in for this month's challenge. And there aren't many entries so you stand a really, really good chance of winning a stencil or two!!!
