Papertrey Ink February 2014 Blog Hop!

Welcome PTI fans!  I'm sure I know many of you, and I'm glad to meet any new folks!  I am so happy to be participating in Papertrey Ink's monthly blog hop again after so long!


The theme is "Sweet Spring."  (I think it's to cheer up those who've had such a cold, snowy winter!)  Here's the inspiration picture:






Isn't it just darling?  Well, here's my card:




And the inside . . .




The colors (Berry Sorbet, Sweet Blush, New Leaf, Limeade Ice, Lemon Tart and Melon Berry) just spoke to me of spring, of fresh, clear, bright colors poking up from the ground with the promise of beautiful days ahead.  I tried really hard to make a single-layer card, something out of my comfort zone (just to challenge myself) and I almost did it!  That little pink butterfly just sneaked on there, LOL!

Thank you SO much for hopping by and I hope you visit again soon!
