This card is also being entered in the Mod Squad Challenge “Spring Forward” where we are encouraged to use flowers, birds, butterflies, hummingbirds, etc. and bright, beautiful colors to make a Spring themed card. (http://modsquadchallenge.blogspot.com/2015/02/spring-forward.html)

For this card, I used stamps from the Gina K Designs “A Little Something” (the vase of flowers) and “Sweet Tweets” (the greeting).  The images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I colored the image with Copic Markers (Y23, YG09, V15, and V17).  I also did a little paper piecing to add color to the vase.  In addition to black and white card stock, the patterned paper I used is from the Gina K Delicate Essentials 6×6 paper pack.  I also used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder, a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush pen (hard to see in photo), and a few self sticking rhinestones.

I ended up doing a second card as well by mixing up the colors a bit.  Here it is:

I’m not sure which I like better!
