Not Every Fall Card Needs to be for the Holidays

I thought I'd take a break from fall/Halloween/Christmas cards to make some that will last me through the seasons. I don't often show it, but I like to make multiples of my cards, and a fall card in spring just feels wrong.

I took this week's Craft Roulette parameters as an opportunity to get away from my box of season dies (okay, there are two: one for fall and one for Christmas) and pull out some of my all time favorites.

• Project: 4" x 6"

• Colors: White, Blue, +2

• Element: Floral Cluster

• Random: Squiggle/s

This one is likely going to my favorite middle sister for her birthday next month. She doesn't like my snarky cards as much as I do!
