Good Sunday morning. I have a sweet clean and simple scene to share with you today using my favorite spring colors. I love making projects with a fence and flowers. They work perfectly with window and house cards but today I wanted the fence and flowers to be the main focal point with a crisp white background that would let the colors shine. I used the Impression Obsession Arched Fence, Tall Grass, Small Grass Border, Memory Box Flower Mound, Puffy Clouds, Mini Clouds and Flying Birds to create the scene and made the frame using Spellbinders Matting Basics A.
I cut two sections of tall grass to use as the flower stems. I had already had all three colors of the flowers cut and just had to form them with my stylus and molding pad and attach them to the stems with glossy accents. I cut two small grass borders, one for in front of the fence and once behind it.
I cut the frame and attached it to the card base with mounting tape. I attached the grass inside the frame and then attached the fence directly to the frame with ATG adhesive. I tucked the flower stems in behind the fence and attached just at the base of the stems so the flowers could be free and natural looking.
I attached the clouds in the sky background and added one flying bird for the finishing touch. I think this would be a perfect card to cheer someone up. I love how it turned out.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.
Card size: 5.5” x 4.25” Paper: Stampin” Up! and Papertrey
Lovely card! Thanks for sharing your creations here. Best wishes for 2014. 😉
Another beautiful and fun card, Kitty! I love the raised frame that creates the depth for the flowers. I adore your cards.
What a cute card

Kittie, this is what I needed to see this morning…. it’s cold and wintery here (no snow, thankfully) and this is truly a little bit of spring…. I love this card…. thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity
Kittie, this is wonderful. Never thought to use my tall grass for flower stems. Thanks so much for the tip. I am ready for spring but I don’t think the calendar is.
What a fresh breath of spring air this card brings … much needed with all of this frigid weather we are having. I love all of the soft colors and those flowers bring to mind all of the tulip bulbs I planted last fall … can’t wait to see them appear. Thanks for sharing and have a great new year. (I hope your roast turned out)
Oh Kittie, you brings me already the spring in my mind!
It’s a wonderful, joyful card!
I love the color combination!
Thanks for sharing…..Eva.
what a lovely scene to view on this cold, rainy Kentucky winter day.
Well this cheered me up in Illinois. Its snowing outside and the temperature is
going to drop way below zero……brrrr. Looking forward to the Spring and Summer
cards already. Happy New Year to you Kittie.
Gorgeous. That’s a card to warm anyone up who is having cold temperatures.
I know our temperature as really dropped. Cold wind blowing and will be down in the 20’s for tonight
I had to giggle when I read “clean and simple”! This is anything but and it is absolutely gorgeous! I’ve been following your blog for the last few months and drool over each and every one of your cards! Beautiful!
Your scenic beauties lift my spirits. Thank you for sharing Kittie 🙂
Sooooo SWEET!!!! Love that Arched Fence die. I must add it to my wish list. Wishing you have HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thank you Kittie for sharing this beautiful spring card. This is just the beauty I needed to see today. The weekend before Christmas we had freezing rain and power outages, and days of freezing cold, then warmer temps and melting, now freezing cold again. This card has brightened my spirits and given me the hope of spring and flowers again. I love the colours and the fence, I will be treating myself to the fence die soon. Thank you for sharing the gift of spring through this beautiful card and the great tutorial. Thank you also for the reminder I need the Memory Box flower mound die, so many possibilities with that one. Have a Happy and Healthy and Blessed and Creative New Year!

Wow Kittie! Happy Spring! Oh right we have to wait for that slow ole ground hog… Well the card is gorgeous and makes me happy. TFS
Oh yay….spring is here this morning and shining with a lovely purple frame…refreshing with all the spring colors on this December day.
Keep them coming….a bright spot in my day.
This card is so pretty and soft….my email provider is up to its old tricks again….the last post of yours I got in email was from the 18th….couldn’t imagine you hadn’t posted something since then….luckily I can get to your site directly via the internet…so many beautiful cards I missed….loved the white on white with the deer.
P.S. It’s not just your posts I’m not getting….I checked a couple of other blogs I like to follow and same thing…dang AOL. Same date they stopped coming via email.
Hi Kittie, Beautiful card. Very springy. What color and brand card stock did you use for the lavender frame? I look forward to checking out your blog to see what new creation you made.
Happy New Year.
Good Morning, Kittie, what a wonderful spring card. love the colors and the tiny flowers. Your fence die is on my list. …..have a good day…..LOL
This card is so delightful…a wonderful sight for eyes full of gray sky and blind from snow. I think that is why I LOVE Christmas lights so much because it offsets my environment. Thanks for sharing this fantastic explosion of spring colors.
JeanMarie, The frame was made using Stampin’ Up! Lavender Lace card stock.
Love them all …nice to look at so many beauties at once. I am running over to the classroom.
May the New Year bring you the best of health Kittie and may it be filled with much joy and love.
