[lang_en]Sarah Kay “Spring Blossom”[/lang_en]

[lang_en]

Ok, yes I do know that it is December, but I just love this new image!! Match it with lots of flowers and I really love it! It has a few of my favorite things – Sarah Kay – Flowers – Bling – and the colors Pink and Brown.

She is colored with my Copics and white gel pen, then I used Spica Glitter pen for the centers of the flowers. Then back to the card. I punched the bottom edge of the card with a Martha Stewart Border Punch I think it is called something like Double Dots or something like that. The color showing through and across the bottom is actually the inside of the card. I ran a piece of American Crafts ribbon as a band, the colors of the dots matched really well. I then matted my Sarah Kay with a small piece of shimmer paper from the SEI collection, love that it all matches and no thinking required!

When I went to place my matted image onto the pattern paper… it was sad, it covered so much of the pretty flowers. So I cut the edges of some of the flower and slide the mat under the flowers, but left the image forward. Does that make sense? I gel pen stitched the edges and used my Stampin Up Window Punch to cut out the sentiment from Hanna Stamps. I had wanted to put that into a library embellishment, but it wouldn’t fit right, so I just inked the edges and put it over the ribbon.

I could have quit there but I really NEEDED more flowers right? So I put together three double flowers with jewelry spacers and brads and glue dotted them to the front of the card, they really needed some bling to match the others so I used my stickles and made them pop just a bit more.
