This wasn't at all what I planned to do tonight, but once I saw Julee's Mojo Monday sketch, I knew I needed to throw aside my plans and make something ... I love the combination of the circle with the contrast of the straight lines and layers.
Then I started down several different roads with my card, ending up no where I had even imagined ... but that's okay, because I love my final destination. I am grateful for those times when I can just fluidly move through the creative process without questioning or hesitating.
I tried several stamps, but finally decided to just let the gorgeous images from Graphic 45's Once Upon a Springtime Collection be the focal point of my design. The only thing I added were a little sponging, some Martha Stewart adhesive pearls, a border punch, and a touch of glitter pen for the fairy wings.
This card is also for the Crazy for Challenges Challenge to Celebrate Something ... for me, I will celebrate the magic of Spring.
What a gorgeous card!
