Welcome Spring!

I made this card for the Get Your Diva On March Challenge (3/14/11) and Mojo Monday 182.

GYDOMar142011 celebrates spring by challenging us to use an "au naturale" palette of white, ivory, gray, black or brown along with a splash of color.

This is the inspiration I used for my own color palette. I noticed this past weekend how the orange-yellow signs really stood out with the grass that is starting to turn green--surrounded by the brown, dead grass from the winter. I was thinking then that I would use this palette for a card. Then this challenge was issued and it was a done deal! I took this snapshot to recapture the color idea I experienced while driving.



I am using Mojo Monday 182 for my sketch. I used designer paper from October Afternoon's Fly A Kite line. I also used Suede card stock from SU! and vanilla from PaperTrey Ink. The ribbon and brad are SU!

This is the inside of the card. Enjoy!

I made this card for my sweet nephew who has entered a new phase of his life. He recently went into the Teen Challenge/Life Challenge program and will be away from home for about 2 years. He loves it and is doing beautifully. He's never been happier in his life and has a wonderful testimony. I'm sending him this card to keep him encouraged. :)
