Spring Flowers

This months inspiration challenge at Scrapbook Boutique features pink roses and other small flowers in yellow, white and lilac.  I thought that this was the perfect opportunity to use this brand new image from the brand new stamp company, Power Poppy.  Power Poppy is owned by the amazingly talented artist, Marcella Hawley and promises to be something really special in the cardmaking world.  Check it out HERE.  I chose my background papers from Prima's Meadow Lark collection and layered them onto lilac cardstock.
I then added some lilac May Arts net ribbon plus some pink satin ribbon across the bottom.  Next, I die cut pink cardstock with a Spellbinders Captivating Squares die, and then some light brown cardstock with a Spellbinders Marvelous Squares die and attached them to the centre of the card front.  The sentiment is from Power Poppy's Azalea stamp set and is layered onto lilac cardstock.  The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto blending card, coloured with copics and die cut with a Spellbinders Standard die, and then added with foam tape.  A pink satin bow was the final touch.

Copic Colours used were: RV000, RV00, RV02, BV000, BV11, BV13, B0000, B60, B63, Y000, Y11, Y15, YG11, YG13, YG17, G24, G28, G40, G43, G46.

Thanks so much for coming to visit!
