Spring is Here

BLOG CANDY posted HERE

Good Morning!
I'm so excited to show you my card for today! Spring is showing itself a bit here in Seattle with little blossoms popping up all over and the rain making an appearance (when doesn't it make an appearance!) to help the new life grow. I can even see bit of green foliage on my little hydrangea that I planted last year! This is a true bit of excitement for me because I don't usually have a good record in aiding my plants to have a long, abundant life. :)

SO, with that said...all of this Spring and Water and New Life reminded me of Water Lily Beauty from the Busy Beauties Boutique and I just HAD to whip up a card using her! Water Lily Beauty is one of the new stamps for March and I really love how she has a 20's charm to her, as well as being a beautiful water nymph! You can check out the rest of the March releases and what's currently in stock at the BBB HERE!

I also was inspired by two challenges for this card. I tried to go with the AWESOME layout for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge 66 this week. I loved the simplicity of this layout and thought it was perfect for using a larger panel for my image.
The second challenge that I thought this card might fit into since it celebrates Spring and "winged things" is the Chapter 5, Oh Alice Challenge. Chapter 5 is about the Caterpillar and we all know that caterpillars metamorphose into beautiful butterflies...so even though Water Lily is most likely a fairie...today she is a beautifully transformed butterfly!

I hope you'll go and check out these awesome challenges and be inspired by all of the amazing examples!
Tomorrow I'll be back with another Farm Fresh Friday, so be sure to check back. Until then, don't forget to sign up for my BLOG CANDY!
