New Arrival with The Card Concept

Hello Crafty Friends,

I’m so glad you are joining us for this week’s challenge on The Card Concept! This week, you have a hard decision to make, 193a New Arrival, or 193b Busy Bee. You can get all the details on how to play along, and see more great inspiration and ideas over at The Card Concept, right here https://thecardconcept.blogspot.com

I chose 193a, New Arrival! I just fell in love with that sweet little orange fox, the bright white cake, and the little birch trees. I put them all together in a Clean and Layered Easel Card, and tried to stick to the color palette.

I made this pretty cake card base with the Floral Cake Pop Up Easel Set from Poppystamps. The cake can stand up like n easel or fold flat to fit into an envelope.

I just love bees so much, so deciding between New Arrival and Busy Bee was tough for me. How about you? What will you choose? Create a card with our challenge themes and link it up over on The Card Concept blog.

Thanks so much for joining us today!

Happy Easter!
