A Springtime “hello”

This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge is this great sketch.  I found it perfect for highlighting those adorable little garden accessories in Handpicked Framelits.  Here’s my card:

I have always been a huge fan of Night of Navy.  It was the third Stampin’ Up! color I ever purchased, right behind Basic Black and Chocolate Chip.  Flowerpot designer paper puts Night of Navy in a preppy combination with Garden Green.  Perfect for this card!

I do want to share how I added the Crushed Curry on the Decorative Label piece.  I gripped the Whisper White cardstock in the punch, without quite punching it all the way.  I took the fine tip of my Stampin’ Write marker and carefully traced the inside of the punch onto the cardstock before punching through.

Thanks for checking out my challenge card for this week.  You can see all of the Challenge Team inspirations at Create with Connie and Mary.  Please take a minute to check out what these talented ladies have created.  You can also see the entries as they come in, and we’d love to have you play along with your own entry!
