Take a really good look at my background panel... see it?
Yes, that is Pinkfresh Studio's Holiday City View - white heat embossed!
[come on - admit it! we all have a neighbor who leaves their Christmas wreath on the door until the birds build their nest in it!!]
I had the best time cutting all the bits and pieces in this sweet Altenew Sweet Blooms die set!
I created blooms in many color combinations before deciding the purple/lavender was my favorite for Spring.
I love the bit of texture and interest this background brought to my card without adding anymore bulk! That sweet little tag sets this card up perfectly for any message I'd like to add inside - for any occasion at all! Hello from HoneyBee Stamps' My Favorite Flower, and the tag is HoneyBee, too.
Hope you take another look at your Christmas supplies before storing them away!
Have a wonderful, crafty weekend, my friends - thank so much for stopping by today!
