I stamped and die cut the snowdrops with Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive inks and then added foam tape behind the whole bouquet to add even more depth. I finished with a little bow from PFS's A Bow and then added glitter around the edges of the bow and also on the snowdrops. Double D asked for mostly GREEN for this challenge, and other than the neutral white I think I've got that covered!
I am SOOOO ready for Spring and it felt so good to make a Spring card. I left a sentiment off mine as I'm not sure what I'll use it for yet, but it will most likely have to be hand delivered because of the bow. It was a perfect fit though, so I couldn't not add it!! You can play along with the Double D Challenge until Sunday, March 16th @ 8:00PM and with The Four Seasons Challenge until Tuesday March 25th @ 12:00AM (links for both challenges at top of post.)
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

I never have had any snowdrops in any of my gardens, Marcia but every year I think- why haven't I planted those yet? I'm just as happy seeing your lovely paper ones! I love your Snowdrops, all those lovely layers and that happy bow!

The stitched diamonds and plaid background make a great resting place for your sweet snowdrops, Marcia. The fancy frame and glittered bow add an elegant touch.
Your sweet snowdrops do say spring is coming and they look so pretty with the window pane plaid behind it along with the pierced diamonds! What a great card for spring, my friend!
Never could I even imagine a "mostly green" card being so elegant! It's beautiful with all the pretty elements, layers and a peek of sparkle -- oh and I do believe you're right, how could you not use that bow, it's just perfect!
Your card is absolutely beautiful Marcia! I love the greenery you used! Oh how I would love to see something green after this winter. Although the temperature today is above freezing and the water is running off the roof--melt away winter, please.
You've got the green covered, alright, and I love it! These snowdrops have so much joy and movement, they appear just as happy to see spring as we will when it arrives. It's all so pretty, Marcia, and I'm so glad you shared with us at Double D!
This is gloriously glittered and just as beautiful as can be! So glad to know you're digging into spring supplies. The snowdrops are so pretty and I adore the glittered bow. So glad you linked up to DD Challenge as well. Beautifully done, my friend!
What a wonderful card, Marcia, with so many great details. That diamond stitched cover plate is such a perfect stage. I love the fancy oval frame and the plaid inside of it. Your snowdrops are so lovely and the way they are placed make the loops of the bow look like "vases".
