Hi all. Happy Leap Day. That day that only comes along once every 4 years, but it sparks all kinds of fun and interest from those who are celebrating birthdays that only come along every 4 years to special parties just to celebrate this event. How will you celebrate Leap Day?
I’m celebrating by starting my day by sharing this card that I recently made using a newer set by Paper Smooches; Spring Fling.
This card contains a sentiment that is a happy reminder to live each day in color, even Leap Day. Vibrant, full-out joy is what I hope this card conveys because COLOR brings life, fun and a sense of joy to just about everything.
It's a simple card but the color is what makes it special. My bottom borders are multiple cuts of cardstock using the Scallop Diamond Border punch which I layered on the white cardstock base. I die cut a small Lacey Circle in yellow to mimic the sun so that my sweet smiling flower would have a happy background.
The sentiment was stamped onto a small tag from Staples and I used a Tiny Attacher to staple the baker’s twine to the tag. I colored the flower and paintbrush using Copic markers and attached them both to the card using foam pop dots.
I’m happy you stopped by today and I hope you will live YOUR day in color.

I'm celebrating by doing some laundry, going grocery shopping, playing taxi driver to the kids. Oh wait, thats just a typical day here so I guess leap year is just an extra day to do it on. LOL!
LOVE the rainbow of color! Fun way to use the twine!
Lynn, this is soooo colorful! I love it! The rainbow of scallops are awesome! The little flower is so cute.
Oh what a Happy looking card to see! Love all the bright colors and the cute daisy smiling.
What a cute, cute card! I love all the color and the sentiment is just perfect. Have a great leap day. I'm home with a marginally sick kid today and we're celebrating the other's half birthday tonight. Fun!
This is so nice, Lynn! I really like the stapled twines, and the little brush brings it all together perfectly. Cheers!
So bright and cheery! I love the rainbow scallops and I am totally copying that idea, FYI. The brush makes it a perfect card for my art teacher mom. The stapled twine is very cute, too.
