One of the most welcome signs of spring for me when we lived up north, was the profusion of blooming flowers. I couldn't wait for the those first blooms signaling the coming of warmer weather. Those memories were the inspiration for this card using the Dream Fairy Set and the Dream Fairy Cut Files.
I also used a sentiment from the Bird Swirl Set that I stamped directly onto the designer paper. I cut some of the flowers from scraps of the designer paper, then used a hand embosser to soften them up and shape the petals. I got a dimensional look and they didn't cost me a penny!
