On white card stock I first added the brick wall with the stencil design using a Hero Arts Ombre Autumn ink. Then over that I applied Gina K. Design Sweet Corn ink to create the sunshine beaming onto the panel. This was the background for the rest of the card. I die cut the panel with a double stitch border die. With my MISTI I stamped the solid leaves and stems with Gina K. Designs inks. The little flowers were stamped onto a separate white card stock with black ink and then I colored them in with my Tombows. After fussy cutting them I added them to the leafy stems and some I popped up and others I did not. This gave a more dimensional look. In the center of the flowers I added some yellow pearls. This panel was layered onto a thin black border of card stock before placing it on the dark pink card stock.

Well, here it is Saturday evening and the weekend is whooshing by so fast. And, remember to turn your clocks ahead. I can hardly believe that it is the time to do that already. I am not a fan of this at all. I know that hour of sleep I will be missing for several days to come.
Thanks for visiting and for your awesome comments too. I look forward to reading them.
God bless,
Verna

I love how you combined the sunshine and brick wall for the background! That's a neat idea! Thanks for linking your lovely card up to the Cropstop Challenge!
Well, I didn't get a notice from them again; I can't figure it out, but I always tune into your cards anyway. I love the card; I'm wondering if the background in the card is done with two of the dies she cut for you. What a wonderful friend you have. I love the way you did the background, what a genius you are to think of that idea. The pearls on the flowers sure give it a dimensional look. NEAT!!
What a very nice thing to do, cut and share some stencils. You really put them to great use. Love how the sun rays shine, and the flowers grow by the brick wall. A really, pick me up, card.
What a pretty Spring like card! Your blossoms are so happy, they look like they are jumping for JOY! And such a kind act, the cuttings and the card. Card Makers are the BEST!
