Spring Ray of Sunshine

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope your week is off to a good start!  It's already been busy here so far, but I did find time to finish a card I was making for a few challenges I enjoy.  This one is full of Spring colors and flowers and if only the real weather would cooperate with some Spring sunshine, it would be great!

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing Tangerine 6x6 pad.  I used one sheet with text and one with flowers.  The sweet image is Sabrina from Saturated Canary.  You can find her in Krista's store here.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added just a bit of Crystal Stickles to her underskirt and a Eucalyptus Stickles to the flower centers.  I cut out the image and a mat for it with my Cameo.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  The pretty flowers are all from the amazing Sunday Sweet Stuff I won from Jacque recently.  Thanks so much, Jacque!  Peach chevron ribbon and a few gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by!  I'll be by to return the favor as soon as I can get a few things on my list done.

  7. Carla this card is beautiful! The colors you've used are so soft and feminine. And I love the way you've chosen to highlight the image by cutting with a white border and then adding another cutout of aqua!
