I cut a piece of Pure Luxury White card stock with Spellbinders Labels 23 and sponged Memento Bamboo Leaves while still in the die.

I stamped the potted flowers directly onto the background. To ink the image, I used my Memento Potter's Clay ink pad for the pot, then used Cantaloupe, Tangelo and Bamboo Leaves Memento markers to ink up the flowers.

I used BV000 and BV11 Copic markers to add some shading to the pot and flowers.

I cut a curve from a sticky note and used it as a mask. Then I sponged Memento Rich Cocoa ink.

Removed the mask and added a shadow under the pot with N3 Copic.

I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I layered with Pure Luxury Fresh Asparagus, Pumpkin Spice and a piece of the new Casual Friday pattern paper. The card base is Creme de Menthe. I added score lines to the card base with my Scor-Pal.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

For my Whimsical Spring card, I stamped the floral branch with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics, starting with V06.

Added V04.

I used my blender pen to blend and pull the color into the highlighted areas, then added some V09 for deeper shading at the center. After coloring, I cut out the flowers.

For the background I sponged Memento New Sprout.

Sponged Memento Bamboo Leaves.

Then sponged Memento Lulu Lavender at the top.

Then sponged Memento Grape Jelly, very lightly.

Stamped the branch, from Whimsical Spring.

I began coloring the leaves with YG03.

Added YG95.

For the branch, I started with E35.

Then added E29.

I stamped the silhouette branch with Memento Bamboo Leaves, stamped off on scratch paper first, to make the image lighter. Then I adhered the flowers using Pop Dots. 

The circle for the sentiment was cut using a Lacy Circles die, then sponged while still in the die. 

I stamped the sentiment, then adhered it to the background using Pop Dots. I added self adhesive pearls to the flower centers and layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx and Wild Lila. The card base is Lovely Lavender and finished size is 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!
