A Week With Springtime Doodles - Day 7

Here we are.  I'm glad you have made it to the end with me in "A Week with Springtime Doodles," the cute set that  Beth Silaika designed for Papertrey Ink.  Here it is:

  

  

Today's card might be my favorite.  It uses my favorite colors, some of my favorite patterned paper, and a few of my favorite images from Springtime Doodles.

Here it is:

This time, I decided to try out my watercolor pencils one more time with this set, and I'm glad I did.  The blending gave it just enough shading - love that! I stitched around all of the panels of patterned paper to give the card a little extra something.  The bee, left tulip and right yellow flower are popped up for some dimension, and the flowers and bee are all outlined with Sakura Stardust pen to give the card some sparkle.  I used the "thanks" sentiment as leaves today - thought that was something different.  Instead of matting the focal point on a solid piece of cardstock, I inked the edges with yellow and green. 

This was such a fun week, and I can't wait to try out even more images from this great set!  You'll be seeing some soon.  Here are all the cards together:

Did you catch Erin Lincoln's comment on the PTI forum about this set?  Last week she said she had just used Springtime Doodles on a release week project and that it goes perfectly with one of the new sets being released. 

I waited...

and waited...

and waited...

patiently...

to see her project and which set she was talking about. 

Then, yesterday - this appeared:

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!  Wow - it blew me away.  The set she was highlighting was Happy Trails!  Guess I'll add it to my ongoing wish list.  Honestly, I just want to make this card.  So - very- cool!   I'm going to print it out to stare at.  It just makes me happy.  You can see Erin's post and other amazing projects here.

Well, there it is.  A Week With Springtime Doodles already over.  I hope I have enabled you a little this week.  I'll be back with another week of something or another soon.  In the meantime, I'll just post my random makings. 

Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!

P.S.  This will be one more for Jenny over at Wee Memories.  Have you played along yet?  Here's the link.
