Soft Spring Easel Card

Today's card is one that has sort of evolved into something else as I was making it!
I started off with my wisteria image from the hostess set Soft Spring. I had seen it used on a friend's blog and I was inspired to use it again.
Change no. 1 - I suddenly decided to change the colour from a soft violet shade to the bright yellow of a laburnum blossom.

Here's the card


I didn't like it! There was no place for a sentiment and it turned out very flimsy.
Change no. 2 - I turned it into an easel card



I used a darker green over my leaves and used a base of Garden Green card stock and I'm pleased to say I like it a lot better now!

I am entering this card into the challenges over at

the theme is 
SPRING FLOWERS

FOCUS ON FLOWERS




It's been a very blustery day in Bridgnorth today although it's still lovely and sunny - too windy for washing though as I'm sure it would have blown the line over!! Never mind - there's always tomorrow.

Thanks for looking today - see you soon - J xx

  1. I love both versions of this card Jacqueline! The doodled partial frame is a lovely touch on the first and I'm sure a bold or blocky sentiment would look lovely on it! The second is a great transformation too - just shows how versatile you can be while stamping! The stamp set is lovely isn't it - it was you that revealed the flower was supposed to be wisteria but you've shown how fab it looks as laburnum too! Take care, Vicky xx
