Floral foreshadowing

This has been a pretty bleak winter. Almost no snow, so we haven't been able to go sledding. Plenty of jogging, but that's not what my boys want. As Dominic said, "It we can't have winter, it might as well be spring."

So to honor my dude's wishes, here's a little bit of spring/summer, using this week's sketch from Sketch Support:

 

I kept the design very similar, only switching around some of the papers, and that was by mistake. I'm glad I did, though, because it highlighted that gorgeous Studio Calico paper from the Memoir collection called, fittingly, Flower Bed.

 

To highlight the paper even more, I trimmed centers from the flowers I didn't use and added them with dimensional stickers. I also cut out a few flowers to make dimensional (and cheap!) embellishments.

 

Here I also stitched some stems. It was tough to pick a color, since the background was green. I went with yellow, my favorite color.

Enjoy these warm photos, especially if you're with me in Minnesota; the next week looks to be pretty chilly! Still no snow, though. Phooey.
