New Challenges

Good Morning all. What a truly BRIGHT, SUNNY  Morning. It's been a LONG time. Just pumps you up and gets that MoJo moving. Hoping I can be outside when it warms up a bit. I see my fern peony is about 1 ft high and must check to see if tulips have any chance of blooming.

My card today


I don't usually use grey or lime green so thought this would be a good challenge for me to try.
I framed my pattern paper, distressed the edges and mended the makings of a flower. Added the sentiment "Blessings of Joy" . I thought this might make a nice Mother's Day card for one of my daughter-in-laws.  They  both are Blessings of Joy for loving my sons and being wonderful Mothers,
keeping a happy home and making family life so important.

Some NEW fun challenges:
The Play Date Cafe  Challenge PDCC79 has a Color Challenge


Just Add Ink Challenge JAI 66 "Just Add a Flower"

The Ribbon Reel  Challenge #1 "Pick a Color" from this combo  ( I used the red, green)

ABC DT Challenge  "April Showers Bring May Flowers"     (lets hope so!)                                                                                                   

Well, thanks for stopping by, may you have a wonderful week.

This is really beautiful, Sylvia! I saw those colors over at Play Date, cringed and said pass. But you have managed to make a gorgeous card with them. Love that flower and the bow is delightful too! And you're right, what a super Mother's Day card that would make!
