Here is my entry:

 

This card is made with Stampin' Up Products. The stamp set is called "Beautiful Promenade" and the coordinating dies. The background is the embossing folder named "Quilt Top". 

The colors are Regal Rose, Crushed Curry, Elegant Eggplant, and Old Olive. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I created two cards for this challenge but I couldn't decide which one I liked better. So, I took a poll on Facebook, and the top one was the winner by an overwhelming margin! 

Here's the other one but not entered into the competition.

March 2017 Paper Pumpkin

Hi Friends,

Well, I posted the March paper pumpkin video on my Facebook page and now it's time to give you a few ideas on what else you can do with this month's paper pumpkin.

This little card measures 3 x 3. It's made according to package directions. This kit will make 9 - 3 x 3 cards. It's a sweet little card, but there is more that we can do!	This little bunny is another item you can make using the March PP kit. You can fill the little bunny with candy or stuffing for decorations. This kit contains 9 little bags.

This card is standard size, 5 and a half by 4 and a quarter. I cut apart some of the patterned paper, and backed the bunny face with the matching dark blue. The design came from a sketch.

Sketches are a great way to help you decide on a layout of a card. All you do is stick the pieces in place.

This card took me a little while to decide what I could do with some of the colored pieces. The pieces were ovals meant to be the inside of the bunny ears. I took one of the pieces and cut it in half. I kept playing with it and trying different ways of putting them together.

I came up with kites! The kit came with the 3 different patterned ovals and 3 different colored twine. I added them to a piece of blue paper for the sky. The "Happy Spring" sentiment went perfectly!

It so fun when a card comes together!
