Jumping for Spring Joy!

Isn't this color combo fun? I wish I could take credit for it, but it was this week's Bellarific Friday Challenge. Quite frankly, it had me yearning for spring as I looked outside at the white palette Mother Nature has left me! **sigh** Winter lasts soooo long here...

At any rate, I hardly ever use a white card base, so this was a challenge for me. I really wanted to keep the card light and whimsical to go with the image and paper. (By the way, I cut paper I was hoarding to make this card! I am being soooo good! You would be so proud of me! I might just have to give up my 'paper ho' crown at some point!)

This card was also based on a sketch over at Scrap, Stamp, & Doodle Saturdays.

Stamps: Anise Ketto (StampingBella), sentiment by PTI
Paper: PTI Stamper's Select White, Pixie Pink, Apricot Appeal, Gable Green, DCWV Mat Stack
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics to color
Accessories: Ribbon, Button and Hemp Twine (SU), Stickles

I hope everyone is having a fabulous week! My son turned 10 and we are having a sleepover for some of his friends on Friday night. My husband "conveniently" is going to be out of town for business. Eekkkk! If you don't see me back, send reinforcements! ;)

Give up the 'Paper Ho' title? NEVER! Girl, you earned that, and you wear it proudly!!! LOL! I don't do white bases either (or not often) but it's perfect with these bright colors!

be sure to remind your hubby of his absence when the next gift giving situation arises :)
