Sweet Friend for JustRite Stampers


Happy Easter!  I hope everyone had a wonderful day with family and friends.  I have a little card to share today.  This is for the JustRite Stampers' Friday challenge # 093 to make a card celebrating Spring and tell what Spring means to you.  When I think of Spring I think of blue skies, fresh green leaves, and brightly colored flowers.  You can check out the challenge details here.  So, I picked a blue green color and a red.  The colors felt a little vintage-y to me so I played that up a bit.  I used the beautiful Resplendent Rectangles dies and also Labels Four and  Wonderful Wings dies from Spellbinders. I did very little stamping on this card... just the sentiment and the label.  The label was colored with Copics.  I glittered up the butterfly with Crystal Snow from Stampendous and embossed one of my layers with the Petals-a-Plenty folder from Stampin' Up!  I used ALOT of Chamomile ink from PTI to distress everything, added some twine, a button, and some pearls to finish it off.  This is a little outside my "normal" for cards but I really wanted to play around with these gorgeous dies that I recently purchased.  I really do think Resplendent Rectangles is my new favorite.....have I said that before?  Lol....I believe I have!  Anyways, hope you have a great rest of the day (or evening) and I'll be checking in soon!
