Our weather has taken a decided turn to the chilly side lately, which makes me yearn for spring all the more! So here's a card to help us be patient until it gets here.

Inspired by Jennifer
Hello! Today once again I have a card that was inspired by one that Jen McGuire did back in January. I've been loving all the cards lately that have bright colors against a black background, and she showed us how to do that using layering stencils, black cardstock, and acrylic markers.
Here's my version!

Just a Note
Here's a card just because.......it started with this black and white dotty paper, black on 1 side and white on the reverse. I die-cut out 2 scalloped rectangles and placed them on a white card base, then piled on some little posies.

Woodblock Wednesday for February!
This month I chose a stamp that has some special meaning to me, as I think it was one of the first stamps I bought after I got interested in making cards. It's dated 2004, from Hero Arts, and called Sketch Tulips.

A Little Sunshine
Our granddaughter recently sent us a thank you card that had a floral spray in bright colors against a black background. I have seen so many of your cards using dark backgrounds, and I've been wanting to give this idea a try, and Alma's card got me moving. Here's the result.

New Paper Rose products at Spellbinders!!
I was thrilled to see that Spellbinders is adding products from other companies to its store! Today I'm playing with a new 6" pad of paper and a package of die cuts that coordinate, called Rainbow Twirl, from Paper Rose.
Being an old quilter, I love playing with beautiful papers, mixing and matching patterns! I made 4 cards with these lovely products.
For my first card I had to use this gorgeous wreath that is printed on one of the papers in the paper pack.

Altenew February Inspiration Challenge
I was taken with the colors for this month's challenge at Altenew. I would have preferred to use my Altenew floral dies, but they are at home, and I'm here in Florida! Fortunately I brought along this Fragrant Florals Craft Your Life kit. Here's what I came up with.

Woven
Simon Hurley's new collection, Spring Sampler, debuted at Spellbinders about a week ago, and I asked to play with his new Woven 3D embossing folder. I'm so glad I did! Look at the detail!
I mixed it with several older Spellbinders dies.
