Welcome Spring! DD43 & SSSC179

 

Good Saturday morning everyone!  It's Dynamic Duos time again with a springy combination of Pool Party and Lucky Limeade.  For this card, I also used a great sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 179.  I think I mentioned in my last post that I would be using this sketch again, and here it is! I see it's designed by fellow DD designer Vicki Burdick.  I really love it!

 

 

I started by stamping an utra-springy stamp from Inkadinkadoo in versamark ink and embossed it with Early Espresso EP.  I used markers to color in the image.  After it was all colored I painted over the flowers, eggs and butterfly with Frost White Shimmer Paint.

 

 

I cut the image out with a Labels Die and sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink.  Then I concentrated on the rest of the card.  I added a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock that I ran through my Lacy Brocade EF to the bottom of the card and topped it off with a strip of Crochet ribbon and Lucky Limeade punched ribbon.  A bit of Lucky Limeade twine, tied in a cute little bow, pulls the whole thing together.  The last thing to do was add the triple banner accent out of crochet ribbon, and Pool Party & Lucky Limeade designer paper. 

 

 

A few dimentionals to pop up the main image and some pretty pearls arranged in the corner finish my card off.  This one went to my mom who celebrated her 63rd birthday during a big blizzard that hit us here the other day.  This little card reminds us of what we have to look forward to!
