Today I was delighted to find several challenges that support each other nicely. An inspiration photo gave me the nudge to dig out my less used floral stamps and another challenge to consider my stash of designer papers.
I found a pretty paper in my stash as well as a floral stamp set I have used only once if at all by the looks of it. Not pictured is the label die (Spellbinders) which I added in the last minute. The sentiment set is an oldie but a goodie.
I cut the background paper to size. Then I stamped a blooming branch of what I suspect are apple flowers and colored it with my markers. I then fussy cut it and attached it with foam tape to give the card some dimension. Lastly I stamped the sentiment "Sending lots of love" onto the die cut tag.

This is what I really love about challenges. They tend to really challenge you to look into your supplies and make a card. This is such a beautiful card for this challenge with the pink paper and lovely flowers. So glad that you chose to join us at Double D Challenge.

Wow, I am absolutely thrilled with this fantastic branch. It looks simply stunning. The coloring is really great, and the cute bee is the absolute highlight. You chose a beautiful background paper; it really makes the blossoming branch stand out. It reminds me a bit of spring. For me, spring is the very best season because everything comes back to life—lush green grass, tulips, the start of the apple blossoms, and so much more.
