Where is Spring?

Where is Spring?  What is Mother Nature thinking?  We have more snow and temperatures in the teens this morning!  Well, at least we can think of spring which is what I was thinking about when I made this card using Dogwood Blossoms of Vellum placed on a white lattice celebrating the coming of Spring.

Rita, this card is for you.  Thanks for the use of the Lattice die.

Thanks to Rita

This is a card that I made for Joan's Gardens Challenge but before I get in to that, I want to thank my friend and neighbor, Rita. Due to her, this card was made possible because I borrowed from her the die for the lattice, the stamp for the bird, and even the flower I think was punched with one of her punches.  I came across the punched flowers in a stash of precut flowers that I did some time ago and I think it was from a punch of Rita's.  The floral background was even from some scrap leftover from some cards we had made together for a club project.

Now back to the challenge. For Joan's Gardens Weekly Challenge #31 we are to use a framed lattice background , any type of flowers , a  bird , and a vertical greeting.  I think I have all the elements covered.  Used 3 layers for flower which I embossed with Clear EP and stacked with pop up dots and used unknown Black Brad for center. My card is sized 5" x 7" to better use the lattice.

Supplies:
Stamps: Bird -All Night Media,  Vertical sentiment-Stampin' Up

Glaze Pens
Papers: White Glossy CS, Green Textured CS, Graphics 45 Scrap

Thanks, Rita for making this card possible. If I win anything, I will share.
I enjoy every one's comments. Thank you.  Theresa
