It is the 15th of the month and that means another Dueling Darlings challenge. Our hostess this month for the Divas is Judy and she sent us a wonderful kit. The theme that Paola, the hostess for the Dazzlers and Judy came up with is “Spring is in the Air”. May is the month when the earth bursts forth with new growth new flowers and new bird songs
The image Judy sent us is from the Stampin’ Up set Serene Spring. I do have that set, but sadly I am not sure it has ever seen ink. Now, with the inspiration of all of the wonderful cards I am going to see created, I am sure I will take it off of the shelf soon!
Judy also asked us to tell what we love about May. I love all of the flowers that are popping up in the gardens--lupines, columbines, lily of the valley and we have some irises blooming too. I also love to get the vegie garden planted and this year, all of the plants will be from the seeds we have started in our new greenhouse--too fun!

Wow, Barb, I love the shapes behind your image! Great colors...this image was just darling the hostesses sent this month :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Your card is glorius, Barb! Love that you used the butterfly d.p. (Me too!)and so beautifully layered with this bright and spring like solid colored cardstock. Speaking of layers, love, love, love all the die cut layers framing the die cut image...outstanding!!! Wonderful use of embellishments both on the outside and inside of the card. FANTASTIC!!! Think I may need to CASE this card.
ReplyDeleteOh! I thought for sure I would use this DP on my card. I envisioned it when I looked at the kit.....then went a whole different way! LOL
ReplyDeleteI really like the Spring into Summer feel of your card. You were able to use so many embellies from the kit, great job!

ReplyDeleteOhlala...what a card...I love the brightness and the use of the kit. Your coloring is wonderful and I love that you used the bling and the flower as accents...of course I do have to tell you I love the inside of the card as well and how you used the awesome butterfly ribbon as well...great job Barb...your card is awesome...
ReplyDeleteThe colors on this one really call out to me!! I just love how bright and deep the yellow and oranges are! Very warm feeling! And the colors you used on the image are perfectly offset by the CS. This one is a real winner in my book. (Love that Nestie combo you used too)
ReplyDeleteBarb, your card is a masterpiece, inside and out. I love the rich colors and all the fun elements - that swirl of rhinestones is such a nice touch, for instance.
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd say flowers is one of your favorite things about May. I would love to come see all your gorgeous plants.
Loving your choice of background c/s! What a lovely card!
ReplyDeleteWow what a bright cheery card! I really love the bright colors Barb!
