Friendship-Hope Seed Co.-PP3238

March 29, 2015

 It's Sunday and I am the hostess for a fun BINGO challenge this week at The Paper Players!  We are all excited that Spring has arrived.  Even though the weather is still a little chilly, we are hoping you will play along with our "Springy" challenge!  Pick a row or a column and share your creations with us!  

I decided to play the bottom row.  Flowers, Pink and Polka Dots-- but, as my card was coming together I realized I also played the first column-Yellow, Die Cut and Flowers!  WIN-WIN!

My card was created using the stamp set, "Hope Seed Col. by W Plus9.  I also used their "Vintage Envelope Die."  I just adore these seed packs.  They remind me of my childhood.  My parents always planted a huge garden and I loved to look through all the seed packages to see what each one would look like.  I found the patterned papers in an old 6 X 6 pad by My Mind's Eye.  The little roses were perfect for the envelope.  I used Tim Holtz Tea Dye ink to distress all the edges. 


 A few sequins from Pretty Pink Posh add just the right bling.  I used a variety of Copics to color the roses.  


I completed the inside and the envelope and now it is ready for a personal note.

 I hope you enjoyed my card today.  Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.  I always love to hear from you!

    So pretty, Claire! I love the "shabby chic" feel to your card. That pattern is so soft and pretty. The sequins add the perfect touch. Thanks for a fun challenge this week. Sorry I took the "obvious road" and went pink. Lol!

    I just love the sweet, vintage look to your card...so, so pretty! You always do lovely florals anyway. MAYBE someday I'll see some REAL flowers out my window..nothing here yet!

    I love the soft and subtle feel of this card Claire - the papers are the perfect vintage match for your stamped panel. I loved this set the last time you used it too - it reminds me of many a happy childhood hour pottering with my Grandpa in his greenhouse. Gorgeous!

    This is such a pretty card, Claire! All the elements you've designed fit perfectly together and contribute to the gentle, vintage feel. Sweet papers and soft shading, the seed packet images--it's all so wonderfully nostalgic! Great challenge, my friend!

    Claire, I love the vintage, soft, feminine feel of your card especially with the clean lines that give it a modern edge. Fabulous.
