Polly wants us to celebrate Spring and, despite the fact it is Autumn here in Australia it is, indeed, beautiful warm weather ATM.
I am also celebrating the return of my son from Berlin. He has been away for 9 months and am so glad he made the decision to return home at this present time! Hubby, he & I are in self isolation for 2 weeks. Hopefully, this will mean plenty of time to craft!!
I wanted to make a CAS style mixed media card. I sponged the circle through a stencil. Die cut the flourishes and adhered this pretty blue flower I have had for ages. Die cut the happy twice and stamped the word, birthday, die cut using the rectangle die and used an olive marker pen around the edges. Added the tiny pearls. This will be for a friend's birthday in April.
This is also for the Featured Stamper, Sheri (PaperCrafty). I haven't had the pleasure of seeing Sheri's gallery before - so many beautiful cards! I decided on this card to CASE -
My changes are listed above. Will definitely take more time and look through the whole gallery again. I hope that you enjoy your week in the spotlight, Sheri! TFL!

This is spring, for sure, Sue. I love how you sponged that stencil in back of the flower and the way you did the sentiment. I know you are thrilled to have your son home with you during this difficult time. Have fun crafting.

Lovely spring card, Sue! It is a wonderful CAS arrangement of simplistic elements that make a striking composition. I like the word mix for the sentiment and your display piece is wonderful too.
