March PTI Bloghop

Hi everyone. Is it really time for another PTI blog hop? I need to watch the days more closely because they are just slipping by me.

This month's challenge is to use embroidery floss in a creative way. I chose to use it as raindrops as the background of my card. Spring reminds me of lots of rain and tulips and so my card reflects this beautiful season.



Thanks for stopping by!!

    Yes, I'm still making the rounds of the blog hop. The floss gives a softness to the raindrops, which is perfect for a spring card. Those tulips need to keep their bloom! Great colors and card.
