We have had a little sunshine here over the last couple of days and with the clocks having gone forward to British Summer Time my thoughts keep turning to Spring and it's cheery blooms, balmy days, refreshing rains and soft breezes (who am I kidding - I'm in England!) . This card was inspired by such thoughts and is full of spring cheer ...

I've used the scallop envelope die with the Natural Composition papers which have lovely glossy embossed designs on the craft paper. The card base is Summer Starfruit and the overlay is Tea for Two designer series paper.
I popped some natural ribbon stamped with a couple of the stippled blossoms stamps to bling it up a bit - it's perfect for stamping on, especially for sentiments! The scallop edge punch was used under the ribbon and ties in nicely with the ripped corner of the Tea for Two paper.
The blossom party die was dusted down for the flowers and finished with subtles buttons in so saffron - one of my favourite colours of all time. I gave a little movement to the flower petals curling them around my bone folder - not just for creases and scoring!
