Hi Everyone!! This card is for today's Featured Stamper - Elaine aka HappyHeart. Wow did I have fun strolling through your awe-inspiring Gallery Elaine!! You are a master at coloring - you can bring any image or scene to life and I'm truly inspired! So many gorgeous creations - but it was this beauty with the bright spring colors that really caught my eye: { ElaineÂ’s bright and beautiful Ah, Spring }
I had no time to color today so headed for some bright paper and dies - using a similar layout and colors as Elaine's card. I ended up changing the ribbon and sentiment placement, and rather than doodle a border on the white panel I scored a border and sponged color using daubers. I also skipped the matting as it would have made my card tooooo large LOL.
I love these papers - they're so bright and fun to work with. After die-cutting and sponging the Vase I coated it in Matte Glaze. Then I die-cut the floral layers and popped them one over the next. I created the background panel, scoring and sponging a border, then added little dots of glitter and a few sequins. Final step was to add the little paper spirals and bow/tag detailing. Hope you like this as much as I do !!!
Blessings,
Audrey
