PP45: Birds, Bees, Flowers, and Trees

The Paper Players are starting the month off with a fun theme challenge that's perfect for spring!    I'd love for you to come play along this week!   There are so many things you could do with this challenge, so get creative, have fun, and come post your creation!

Here is my card for the challenge:

I decided to focus on the flowers because I really wanted to make one of the fun ribbon flowers that I found on my friend Kathy's blog.   I don't own a lot of the satin ribbon, so I focused my color choices on red and then neutrals.   I love the classic combination of red, black, and vanilla.   Cutting out stamped images is not very high on my list of fun things to do, but I thought I'd make the effort to give some dimension to my card.   What do you think?    I think it would make a pretty wedding card for a happy couple this summer.  :)
