3/20/25 - Cardz 4 Galz #246 Spring - Thankful Garden Bundle

Happy Thursday and it’s another challenge here at Cardz 4 Galz and we are making Spring card! We did get a few days of spring like tempetures last week but now it’s back in the 30s again, blah! The stamp set I used is from Online Exculsive – Thankful Garden. It’s a big image of floral and not usually something that I would purchase but I am stepping out of my comfort zone to get use it. I sponge the image with the coorindating mask to create mutliple layers. Although the color I picked was darker but when I sponge it, it came out lighter, since I am using the colors for The Card Concept challenge. I am also submitting this card to The Paper Player (Single Stamped Image). Hope you like this card I am creating today and be sure to join us at the challenge!
