The Card Challenge Post # 206-Spring Flowers

 Welcome my stampy friends!!

We have a new challenge starting today at the 

CARD CONCEPT!

Just look at those beautiful colors!

I was inspired by the pretty spring colors to create my 

Clean & Layered Style card

~Designer papers, embossing

~Clean lines

~Embellishments/accents

~Clean & Fresh looking

~Some colored images

~White space

Here is my card:

This is a card with a surprise inside!!!

A seed packet!!!!

I saw another card maker do a tutorial for this card, and I thought it was so fun!

Especially for a Mother's Day Card!

(Her tutorial for this card can be found HERE)

You could even add a gift card inside or give the card with some special garden tools!

Those pretty Zinnias were created with a new die set from Stampin Up called Simply Zinnia!

I am in love with this stamp and die set!

I hope I have inspired you to join our challenge!
