My card today uses the pre-colored crocuses from the Spring Flowers digi set from Fred She Said. I actually printed them out twice and fussy cut the three flowers and mounted them with foam tape for added dimension.
The design inspiration came from Verve Sketch # 1 for March. I LOVE their sketch challenges and really need to play along more often.
The papers are some long retired papers from Close to my Heart. I love the color purple but I don’t have much purple DP my stash. I guess purple isn’t the “in” color.
The Hand stitching was done with matching Embroidery Floss.

What a lovely card. I love the stitching around the edges. TFS.
OH my word this card is stunning. First thing that caught my eye was the coloring of your flowers. Then the stitching...goodness gracious this is gorgeous.
I also live in PA so I know what you are talking about. We only got snow once this winter and now all this gorgeous weather!! I'll take it!
I am glad that you played along with our birthday challenge at the Sisterhood. Good luck.
Just stunning! Purple is my favorite color so your creation REALLY caught my eye and that hand stitching ... WOWZA ... fabulous!
I'm in NE Ohio ... originally from Pittsburgh and I too understand what you are saying about the weather! My daffodils & crocus are all in bloom ... looks beautiful but I fear the worst isn't over yet! We shall see!
Thanks so much for joining us at The Sisterhood ‘BIRTHDAY’ challenge and please come back again soon!

Crocuses always make me think of Spring. They are the first wildflowers to bloom here. I love the stitching and pearl accents, and purple and green has always been one of my favorite color combinations. Thank-you for sharing at Digital Tuesday Challenge!
