Card #1 I couldn't choose which design I liked best, so YOU will choose your SUNSHINE AND TULIPS card! Let me know, when you RSVP, which one of these 3 designs you will be making.! 

This sweet Easter card uses Pastel Glimmer paper and white powder embossing.

                                                      

Happy Spring is a quick and simple little beauty, using regular cardstock with white powder embossing for the sentiment.

                                                       

This happy Friendship card will get you inking, or inky, with a sponging technique!! Your garden will have some sparkle added with some Ombre Glimmer Paper!
