I love this springy photo (click on it for source)... now if only we would get some spring sunshine! I'm looking forward to clipping some flowers from my garden... especially my forsythia and lilac.
I was pretty literal with my card... but I did challenge myself to NOT use pattern paper! Believe it or not, it is a challenge for me :) I love my patterns. Yes I did sneak in a journal card from the Hello Lovely collection... but that is all. The rest is cardstock. First thing I did was create the text background with the Newspaper stamp by Papertrey Ink
I stamped and fussy cut most of the foliage from the Good Thymes stamp set then tucked in a branch die cut. The jar is mounted on foam squares for some dimension.
I was inspired by the City Crafter challenge:
Also the Heart 2 Heart challenge: Background stamping... it is not all CTMH but I am working on it ;)
Finally, playing along with:
Now I would love to see how you were inspired :)

Your card uses the window theme and I think stays inspired by the colors as well. Truly lovely card and I'm glad to have found you through the City Crafter Challenge Blog.
