Do you remember those days as a child where you would run into the yard full of dandelions, pull them and blow to your heart's content and watch as the little pieces flew through the air? Me too! My friend Amy, really likes dandelion images, and I can't blame her as I really like them myself. Recently when I made a card using PTI's Green Thumb set she asked me why I didn't tell her that there was a dandelion image in that set. And, to be honest, it hadn't even occurred to me as I had bought the set prior to the dandelion coversations.
I decided tonight to make a quick card to put me in a better mood (yes, one of THOSE days!) and so I pulled out the dandelion image.
This is a gate-fold card so it opens from the middle.
I hope this brings back wonderful childhood memories (or even recent memories you've shared with your kids as they've blown their dandelions into the wind)! Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!
Supplies
Stamps: PTI Green Thumb
Paper: PTI Lavender Moon, Spring Moss, Smokey Shadow, TAC Kraft

ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I love how you added the brown in the middle to make them true to life! Very pretty card!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great card! Very pretty wand whimsical. Well done Jen!
ReplyDeleteVery clever! Yes, this really brings back memories of when I was a child...my cousin and I would have a race to see how many stems we could collect after blowing the dandelion away. Love the accents! Really like the gate fold, too.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Jen! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I like your use of the gate fold. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous!! Those flowers are spectacular!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet story and pretty card! I don't have that set. I will have to take another look. Must have missed it!
ReplyDeleteI love dandelions and I love the feeling this card evokes. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in this card and the fold! What a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteI need to dust off this set. Where I live the wind tends to beat us to the dandelions, so all we see are the yellow spots! I like the touch of having a different fold.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gate-fold card, Jen! Love the color combo, too!
ReplyDeleteLove this Jen, very pretty!!
