Spring has sprung...

Spring has sprung?
Don't you wish.
This multi-layered card evokes the fresh clean skies and the beautiful blooms of spring. The flower from Papertrey Ink came in three sizes and was stamped, colored and then the smaller one mounted on top to add a 3-D effect. Scalloped "artisan circle elements" adorned in blue and white pearls 
were used to set off the focal point of the flower display.

    Elegant is the word I have selected to desribe this work of art. All of your specialties are represented; beautiful color combinations, the layering, and perfect copic coloring. However, for me, it is the hairpin "securing" the flower in place that is the perfect touch on this card. I love it!
