Papertrey Ink 11th Anniversary Celebration - Day 9!

                          FEBRUARY RELEASE DAY 4

+ you deserve flowers + scalloped tags
+forest floor: Spring

+ designer workspace CHALLENGE!

Spring is in full bloom! Rebecca Luminarias has a new collection of stamps, dies, and tags that will make it easy to surprise someone special with an unexpected bouquet. And, an introduction to a seasonal botanical set by Lizzie Jones that embraces budding signs of Spring..... Snowdrops, Lily of the Valley, ferns and beautiful greenery.

There's a happy abundance of beautiful sentiments and floral images in Rebecca Luminarias' new collection - You Deserve Flowers (stamps/dies), Scalloped Tags and the a-dorable Large Tulip Tag! I love the petite tulips and the fabulous 'flowers' die (and coordinating stamp!), which helped to create this spring-y little number.  

Forest Floor: Spring includes lovely little Snowdrops, Lily of the Gallery, ferns and the most beautifully shaped frame, which I've embossed in gold and filled with a sentiment from the new You Deserve Flowers set. Lots of pretty greens, courtesy of the new Bitty Big: Spring Moss and a bit of sponged Aqua Mist over an embossed Quatrefoil background create this ode to Spring.

Today’s challenge is all about creating with a color scheme and we have a lovely bunch of options for you on the Papertrey Blog HERE.

My first project highlights Lilies of the Field and Words to Live By: Kindness… both by Betsy Veldman. I went with a very Spring-y color palette for this card, letting those fabulous flowers really shine. And the Words to Live By: Kindness stamps and dies could not be more lovely or perfect..... beautiful fonts and sentiments! Oh.... and a little peek at another new Bitty Big color too! Next up is the new Shape Shifters: Circle 1 die set from Betsy Veldman and the new Glorious Globes: Basics + Glorious Globes: February sets from Lizzie Jones. I've impressed a portion of the Shaper Shifters: Circle impression onto my card front for a bit of subtle texture and then let those beautiful little globes take center stage.  Be sure to visit the Papertrey Ink BLOG for more fabulous DT projects, inspiration, peeks at the newest February products AND additional details on the latest Challenge!
