PSC #79 - A Spring Thank You Card

The groundhog this year said we'd have an early spring, but that didn't seem to happen where I live in Missouri. We had record snowfall, even in May, and many unseasonably cool days with lots of clouds and rain. Finally the sun has come out and warmer temperatures have convinced my asparagus that it's safe to come up. Here is weather to be thankful for! And with it, hearts are encouraged and more thankful for many blessings. This week at The Perfect Sentiment Challenge #79 we'd like you to

CREATE A THANK YOU CARD WITH A SPRING THEME. YOU CAN USE SPRING EMBELLISMENTS LIKE BUTTERFLIES OR FLOWERS, ETC. OR YOU CAN USE A SPRING IMAGE. ALSO THERE ARE SPRING-THEMED EMBOSSING FOLDERS LIKE...BIRDS AND SWRILS, BUTTERFLIES, AND MORE. DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE YOUR SENTIMENT ON THE FRONT.

Our sponsor is Pattie's Creations, who is providing 3 free digis to a lucky winner.

My card uses their image, Daffodils Circle Scroll, showing one of the first flowers that bloomed here the last day of March, but I actually still have white daffodils that are in bloom now in the middle of May.


The CTMH sentiment that I used is rather shabby chic with its uneven letters and extra ink blots, so I scissor distressed the edges of the sentiment strip. The Cuttlebug embossed Spring Iris cs and green epoxy gems are also from CTMH. The butterfly is Martha Stewart's punch and the heart circle die is Spellbinders Nestabilities. These spring colors worked perfectly with some Basic Grey LilyKate dp that I've hoarded.
