Spring flowers


 There are lots of card-giving occasion in the spring for my family, so I'm working ahead. This card features a cute image from Bugaboo, colored with pencils.  (I colored it like Pansies, then realized the name of the stamp is violets in a watering can). I tried adding Wink of Stella on the little checked area across the middle of the can, and all it did was mute the colors I had there. Baker's twine is wrapped around the panel and tied in a bow.

For the background, I used a flowery springlike embossing folder to add texture on the lavender paper. For interest there's a plaid panel.  

This card is for these challenges:

Can you handle the pressure -- use an embossing folder and plaid

Double D Challenge -- use something with a handle (watering can)

Simon Says Stamp Monday: feminine

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday: using your favorite things (which is the Cuttlebug used for embossing)

C.R.A.F.T. 630: female

Word Art Wednesday #535 -- anything goes

Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2211 -- anything goes
