Flying into Spring

It was windy but sunny all weekend in the northeast, the perfect kind of weather for Fhiona to fly a kite!

This card is all courtesy of October Afternoon's "Modern Homemaker" paper, which I received in the mail on Friday from Laurel Seabrook (thank you!).  I won the paper when Laurel was a guest designer on Yvonne Yam's blog and issued a challenge to paper piece.  Well, I could not help but paper piece away on this card too :>)  Such fun paper and with Fhiona from Your Next Stamp I could not resist creating a little scene.  The text PP mat was cut out with the PTI Mat Stack 5 die.  I trimmed off the bottom of the die cut to turn it into a tag. 
I used sketch #109 from Card Patterns and added some stitching, which is the current Your Next Stamp challenge (#39).
Plus, Wee Memories' Challenge #50 is "color inspiration".  Well, Aqua Mist is my color inspiration because it goes with everything!  Add red to it and life is good.  Whenever I am in a crafting slump, pulling out my favorite color just makes creating so much easier.  
Smiles,
Julie
