Spring Is Here!

Oh how I wish Spring were here!!

I tried to play in the Virtual Stamp Night challenges last night but Splitcoast was having some issues and I only got two cards uploaded. We have until Monday night to finish uploading, so I will work on some more cards tomorrow.

This card was for the first challenge~Opening Ceremonies. We were to pick a favorite participating nations flag and create a card inspired by it's color scheme. Of course I love the Red, White and Blue, but there were a lot of people using the US Flag colors, so I ventured out on the website that has all of the participating nations flags and chose the one from Andorra. Their flag is a three color vertical stripe of purple, yellow and pink.

The butterflies and sentiment are sneak peeks from the upcoming February release of the Spring and Easter set by Mark's Finest Papers. There are five images and four sentiments in this set. Very versatile!

I colored the butterflies with Copics and cut them out. Added pop dots and placed them on a layer of MFP's Lemon Slice. The white card front is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.

Copics Used: Y11, Y13, Y15, V12, V15, V17, R20, R22, R43

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Enjoy!
