Spring Colours

The latest challenge at JustRite Papercrafts is to make a card with Cheerful Spring Colours.  Well, it's still hot Summer here in Australia, but I do feel for my American friends with your longing for Springtime as you come to the end of a very long cold Winter.  So, for this card, I chose the background papers from First Edition's Spring Drop collection, layering the background onto lilac cardstock, and the horizontal strip onto white cardstock which had been punched with Martha Stewart's picket fence border punch.  I created a frame by die cutting white cardstock with two Spellbinders Labels 20, then die cut blue cardstock with the larger label 20 for backing.  Then I die cut white cardstock with Spellbinders Fancy Lattice and sandwiched it between the frame and the backing.  I chose the daisy image from JustRite's Botanical Medallions & Banners stamp set, stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black onto blending card, coloured it with copics, cut it out and added it to the frame piece with foam tape.  The sentiment is from JustRite's Seeds of Summer set and made into a notched tag.  Lilac ribbon and a bow finished it off.

Copic Colours used were:  RV000, RV00, RV02, BV0000, BV000, BV01, B000, B00, B02, Y21, Y26, YG03, YG63.
