PTI Spring Fling challenge

Hey everyone :) It's Sunday evening here and I spent most of the day at a 4-H event with the family. It was a good old fashioned BBQ, raffle and mini fair. Despite the rainy morning, it was quite a lot of fun! AND a good excuse to make something :) A simple little folded envelope to hold some seed packets. A perfect and inexpensive gift for spring!
Over at Nichole Heady's blog, there is a little inspiration challenge going on. I chose Becky Oehler's graphic to work from.

I borrowed the headboard shape, the button accents (are those wall buttons the coolest or what??!), the color scheme, the floral garden look and the white on lime stripes from the sheets and this is what I got....

This cool chicken statue from Joann's was crowing my name when I walked by. I was really hoping to win him back today during the raffle but he went home with someone else. darn! Anyway, back to the spring fling challenge. I used a cool image of a rooster from SU (French Provencial set) and then PTI'd the rest. All the flowers are from Honeybees and the double pinstripe on the bottom is from Faux Ribbon. This is a new set to me and I am loving it! The double pin strip was stamped and then embossed in white and it really popped against the spring moss. All of the cardstock is PTI too.

Another fun first on this card was sizzix cutting some cork. It comes in thin sheets (I got mine at Michaels) and the daisy above cut without problems at all. Thanks to Dawn McVey for the buying tip :)

Well, that's it for today. The rooster crowed early at our house this morning so I think I will get some shut eye now. Hope you had a fabulous weekend and thanks so much for stopping by.
