Joan's Gardens Weekly Challenge

Hi there!  Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope that your day is full of love whether or not you celebrate the holiday!  I'm popping in to quickly share the card I made for this week's challenge on Joan's Gardens' blog.  The theme/requirements this week were to make a spring card, use a blue and white color scheme, include a trellis of some sort and optionally, add a bird.

Here is my card for the challenge:

I started with a card base of SU Baja Breeze and layered with patterned paper from the Bo Bunny Welcome Home collection.  I used a Martha Stewart punch for my trellis.  I made the center medallion by punching a strip of white cardstock with the Martha Stewart Lace Doily Edger Punch.  I punched the bird and branch from patterned paper with the SU Bird Punch.  The flourishes were made with the Cheery Lynn Tropical Flourish die .  A bunch of flowers (Wild Orchid Crafts, Kaisercraft, Prima) from my stash finshed my simple card.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to see you again soon!
