Of Die cuts and flowers

I wanted to share another card I have made.  This one used a different way to use Spellbinders die cuts.  For this card, I used Contemporary Hearts, and Parisian Accents and Foliage.  I also used a punch for the pine bough leaves and some paper flowers that I colored using Distress Inks.

The centers of the flowers and the 3 little gems on the top right of the card are actually "pearls" but don't show up so well in this photo.

 

When the card is open, it looks like this on the inside.

 

Here you can see the pearls better.  And you can see that inside there is another die cut that does not show when the card is closed.

 

I am entering this card in the following challenge:

Spring colors

Today I have another challenge card made for the Spring Colors challenge #158 at Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog.

The image is a Digital Stamp from Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More called Birdie's Nest.  I colored the image with colored pencils and did the blue background with chalk.  The sentiment comes from Create with TLC and I cut it out using Spellbinders Big Scalloped ovals.

I do hope spring has really arrived here in northern Wisconsin!
