Making Monday a fun day!

I've had such fun playing cards with the ladies at The Paper Players and this week my friend LeAnne is hosting!  She has a beautiful Color Challenge for us, and I have just the die set for them!


This beauty came to live with me before Christmas and it patiently 
waited in the wings until today.  Remember the Concord & 9th Festive Blooms die set?  They have another called Primrose Garden that I picked up during their 
'favorites' sale.  Here she is in LeAnne's pretty Spring colors:


You can see the debossed guide for placement of all the layers peeking out.
I also used it to add that pretty detail to my card panel!


Although I did use their lovely guide, I also had my way with
the placement of those pretty blooms and added a bit of sparkle to
the 'berries' and some of the flower centers using
Star Dust Stickles. I love how it turned out!

Okay the laundry is calling but what a fun way to start my Monday!  Thanks, LeAnne and The Paper Players!

Oh - this is just what I needed to face a cold and bleak Monday morning!!! Love the great colors and dimension of this beauty. If I didn't have an historic "fear of florals" I'd give this set a try. Thanks for the great start to the week!

This is so pretty. It has been very grey and cold here today, so thanks for bringing a little bit of spring into my cold grey craft room xx

It's like that set was made for those colors and you layered them up beautifully, Michele.

This is absolutely gorgeous, I am working on one of these myself for a guest design spot I have in May, love your gorgeous colors, I also have the Christmas one, I am hoping they come out with some more, they take a bit of time but so worth it in the end, yours is the loveliest one I have seen!

What a perfect set of blooms for those colors! I would never have thought to use all that white but it works, beautifully!
