Because nothing resembles a feeling of fresh energy like a little white cloud on my table.
And because I truly believe "baby's breath" is one of the cutest flower names one can come up with.
I don't know when I decided to start making this card, and I don't remember what I placed above those four green squares, but I obviously didn't like the outcome as I recently found the square-ish background with a couple of tears on the surface. Whatever was glued on there, must have been removed and placed elsewhere, while the card base remained forgotten in my stash.
However, during one of my latest visits to Erlangen, I found some super cute leaflets on display in the city's botanical garden. The green paradise is dear to me for obvious reasons, and I like to flip through their publications, but I usually don't take them home as I know exactly I'd sooner or later just throw them away.
This time, though, I knew exactly I'd like to have this hedgehog couple on one of my creations. They had to wait quite a while before being used, but have provided a nice simple spring/Easter card in the end.
The only thing I added to the half-finished card was an additional layer of brown cardboard to support the main image, and a punched branch with a little flower to cover up the torn edge of the image itself.
