My cardmaking group had another sketch challenge, sketches are such a nice point to start if you go in to make a card from someone and you have no clue where to begin.
Can you tell I am ready for spring anytime now :) I cut out the die with white cardstock and then colored each individual piece and then pieced them back together, I don't know if I will do this again with these tiny pieces especially in the flowers. I used a stitching die to add a bit more to the blue panel.

Hope you all are having a great week so far. Thanks so much for stopping by,

The flower looks like a fabric applicee (sp?) with it pieced with all those colors of cardstock. I was surprised it was a die, I though maybe a purchased embellishment. Very pretty card!
Very pretty Connie. Love the paper pieced flowers... they do look pretty tiny! Lovely colors... I am ready for spring too! :)
Beautiful card Connie.... Great coloring on your die cut!
I'm one of those odd people that enjoy the quieting effect of snow and the slow pace of January days. Trying to soak up every minute of it!
Beautiful card Connie. I'm so ready for Spring too. Your card is a teaser giving you the hint of Spring. Enjoy your week.
Pretty card, Connie, and the colors are perfect together! I wouldn’t have thought to use them together and they really are rich! Hugs, de

A pretty card Connie, definitely one to make us think Spring is on the way :-)
Such a pretty card, Connie. I can well imagine you are ready for Spring. =)
Gorgeous card, beautiful colors and Designer Papers! The flowers and flower pot look lovely!
Oh, Connie, this is beautiful, and I thought your focal image was a fabric piece! It's stunning, and I know what you mean about using dies with such bitty pieces! But it was well worth it! I love it! Warm hugs, sweet friend! xoxo
Beautiful Connie and yes ... I'm ready for Spring too!! Enough of these single digit temperature and 6" of snow on the ground! I'm over it ... bring on the green grass! LOL
I think we're all ready for spring and this pretty card reminds me of that even more. I do love a sketch, too. I also love the die cut stitches you added, and pretty papers and colors.
I think everyone is ready for spring as the trend is spring like cards. This is lovely with the gold and blue paper. Your blue flowers are lovely.
