I kept Kim's theme of a colorful floral background, and bigger sentiment, changing the placement slightly and using a word die. I stenciled the background instead of stamping.
I recently purchased the Triple Slim Layering Stencils: In the Garden (Taylored Expressions), and they were perfect for today. What fun choosing colors.
I used several Distress Oxide inks and my blender brushes, and was done in a jiffy. All I needed now was the sentiment. I had the hugs word die already cut from my unfinished projects box, so I made a vellum "base" for it, and offset it a little. Those rhinestones (Kaisercraft) are a lovely light pink and match Kitsch Flamingo perfectly. Somehow my gems always turn dark in the photos. The Sizzix embossing folder (Branches and Leaves) was a great mat for the whole thing.

Judy, this is a gorgeous case of Kim's card. I love how you popped up your colorful flower and sentiment layer on the foliage embossed background. There is so much to look at and appreciate.

Gorgeous spring card and beautiful stenciling. You chose brilliant (literally and figuratively) colors for this happy piece. I love the velum piece for the sentiment die. Fabulous design and card.
I love that the texture picks up where the color ends, the depth is cool.
