Happy Tuesday everyone!
I found a strip of soft pastel striped dsp in my stash and it reminded me of spring, so I paired it with some pastel yellow cardstock and this stampendous image to make a card for mother's day. I colored the image with Copics, and added a stamped tiny butterfly from the SNSS serene silhouettes set, coloring it with Copics and a glaze pen, and adding highlights with a fine black marker. I added some clear Wink of Stella to the flowers to give them a soft shimmer, and added a SU! Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment along with an EK bricked punched border. The image panel was die-cut with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle die.
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
Just Us Girls Challenge #578 Word Week - stripes
The Paper Players PP535 theme challenge - spring flowers
the Flower Challenge #55 - pretty pastels
It sure is great to see all those beautiful spring flowers blooming after such a long winter!
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to stop and smell the roses :)

Pretty Spring card Carol!! LOVE your soft yellow tulips that match perfectly with your card base. The striped paper is so pretty and even better with the die-cut brick punch border in soft yellow! Amazing Copic colouring to bring the tulips and bird to life. Your jug looks 3-D. Great visual depth with your shading on all images! Thanks for joining us at The Flower Challenge. xx
