Today Kassi is brightening our day with a fabulous floral card creation that truly delights. Kassi said, “While I am typically a muted colors kind of girl, something about spring makes me want to break out some of my brighter, cheerful colors- maybe it’s because where I live it has been grey and rainy for months and I need a some bright, happy sunshine in my studio!” We are all too familiar with the winter blues, and agree that this bright card is giving us life and sunshine today!
