My first thought was a baby card, but since I already have a couple on hand and don't even know anyone expecting right now, I went with a floral and came up with this:
Actually now that the card is finished, it reminds me of Spring and Easter with these colors! I started with a Pool Party base, and added a strip of gingham (can you tell I'm loving gingham lately??!!) stamped with Pool Party ink and a SSS background gingham stamp to the bottom. I added a row of hearts from PTI's Heart Border die, and then used PTI's Just the Pint jar stamp and Friendship Jar Flowers stamp and die set to create my card. A jute bow, a tag from PTI's Tiny Tags, and a few sequins finished off my card. Oh, and I also added some shimmer with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen to some of the flowers and the heart on the tag. :0)
You have till Monday to play along with this weeks challenge over at colourQ, so check it out and play along!
I'm also adding this card into the Double "D" Challenge, where they are asking for gingham...hope they're not tired of me yet, but they did say you can enter 3 times, and I really, REALLY do like gingham!! :0)
Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do!! :0)

Beautiful colors and card. And the gingham is just perfect. Love it.
Marcia, this is awesome! I love the pretty jar of flowers and it really does speak "spring" to me too. The heart border is such a darling detail. I just love it!
Such a sweet card Marcia. I love gingham too ... I need one of those background stamps! Love it done in the soft blue. Your jar of blooms is so pretty ... just the perfect arrangement. xx
I'd take gingham all day if it were as pretty as your card! Love this floral beauty, and glad that I was not the only one who didn't need a baby card. Thanks so much for playing along at ColourQ this week.
I think you're right - these colors are perfect for spring or Easter. I love the gingham background and the little heart border is adorable! Thanks for playing along with us at colourQ!
It would be a gorgeous Easter card, Marcia--love the flowers, gingham, everything!
You can't go wrong with a great color palette and gingham and flowers are perfect. I love the Pool Party for the backgound. It makes the flowers pop! Awesome card!
Very pretty card, Marcia, love your flowers in the jar! Thanks for joining in the fun at the colourQ.
