Measurements: Strips - 1” x 3 7/8”, black piece under the strips – 4 x 5 ¼”, 2 3/8 x 3 5/8” with a 1/8” (yellow) and 1/16” (black) borders.
-I used the negative effect embossing technique for the Cuttlebug embossing, check the Techniques Challenge master thread for directions or click here.
-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps for coloring the image and the punched flowers. Image is mounted on foam tape.
-Paper sculpting was done on the flowers and black centers. Fiskars punches for the flowers and large centers, Cuttlebug Floral Borders die cut for the small flower centers.
-The leaves come on a long strip that could be used as is on the card or cut apart as I did, I got them from an SCS friendÂ…Thanks Judy!

I love all those textured embossed strips. What a happy-making card, soft and spring-like. Now I know why I was suddenly finding comments on an old card. Off to make my own now.
