One of my two cards for today definitely plays with a pastel color palette and delights in springtime prettiness.
A cascade of Hero Arts Butter Bar, Mint Julep, and Tide Pool flowers look so fresh and happy with white pearls in their centers! The sentiment is from Papertrey's Think Big Favorites #12 and the flowers are from Beautiful Blooms II.
My second card changes seasons entirely, however, and represents (I think) my very first Christmas card of the year, and it features a single stylized poinsettia in place of the "O" in "JOY." The alphabet is Hero Arts Vintage Alphabet (a clear set), the poinsettia is from Papertrey's Peaceful Poinsettia, and the "to the world" is from Wonderful Words: Joy by Papertrey.

Delightful cards with beautiful colors. The cascading flowers on the first card are perfectly adorned. The Christmas card is classic and definitely conveys the sentiment well. I love your cards, Susan.
ReplyDeleteReally great cards. I really especially like the JOY cards with the flower. I may have to pin that one. TFS!
ReplyDeleteChristmas in May! You are getting ready. These are lovely!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, Susan ... I'm particularly taken by the first with the cascading blooms (size and position) and the coloured 'happy' in the sentiment. The colour is such a great idea and one I'm going to steal ... oops ... CASE! Happy May to you too! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLove both of these.
