Positive Thoughts That Spring Will Be Here Soon

Well, thinking that spring might be here soon in January might be overly optimistic. But I couldn’t resist thinking about that and bringing out this beautiful set on a cold, cold day like today! And you know what they say about thinking positively!

This was an easy card to put together. I love, love, love the Pressed Petals DSP, but I don’t always know what to do with it. But this burlap paper is one of my favorite designs in the pack, even though it is simply a background paper. I love it because is looks so real. Just like I actually put down a piece of burlap as my background. And because this is a lightweight Designer Paper, it is very easy to add a stamped design to it.

For some real texture, I crimped a piece of Crumb Cake card stock with the Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder and then added a bit of braided linen trim. Using the Stitched Rectangle dies added even more texture. I love texture because it makes a card look really interesting and adds depth. It also makes a card look like you spent a lot of time on it!

Simple to put together and don’t you feel like spring already? 🙂
