Thinking Of Spring

Monday was a beautiful day and my thoughts started turning towards Spring and this inspired me to make a card with Spring colors. (Click to enlarge image)

I had cut my pieces out for this card and temporarily placed them on a piece of fabric which I embossed. I liked how it looked and decided to use a piece of the fabric for the background.

For the square I took white pearl acrylic paint and add stream alcohol ink to it to color it. After brushing the paint on I then took the white paint and added plum alcohol ink. After brushing it over the blue I took bubble wrap and pressed down on and let it sit for a minute or two. The bubble wrap pulled up the pink paint.

I made the frame from a flower file after ungrouping it and deleting the middle of the flower. I did an offset and then made a compound path. I didn't like it so went and did an offset again and came up with a new flower and frame. The frame was heat embossed with seafoam embossing powder. The flower was cut out of clear contact paper. On the sticky side I sprinkled Martha Stewart flocking powder.

The butterfly was cut out of a scrap of neutral colored pattern paper. I rubbed it with metallic chalk.

The love phrase was a pain. Twice my Cameo would not cut it out right. The third time I cut it out and got ready to heat emboss it only to not find it. Then I cut it out of colored card stock and tore it when I was gluing it. Then I saw a scrap of glittered DCW paper. Knowing that it cut best with the glittered side down I mirrored the phrase. The phrase was made using Lucida Calligraphy and Lucida Handwriting welded together.
