Yes, it's the first day of Spring, and we woke up to about 3 inches of snow on the ground. Thankfully, it's mostly melted away now, but it was a reminder that in Iowa we can't quite count on the end of winter just yet.
When I saw this Williams Sonoma picture at the CCEE STampers Blog, I was inspired by the contrast between the bright blue and pops of red. I started with this awesome glitter transparencyfrom Prima and combined it with beautiful blue designer paper from Pink Paislee's 365 Degrees collection.
I used Kazan's Sketch from 2 Sketches for you & wanted to incorporate this great sparkling holiday ribbon into the design, but I didn't want it to show behind the transparency. I solved that problem by attaching the transparency to a second piece of the same designer paper and attaching it with foam mounting tape over the ribbon.
I finished with an elegant sentiment from About Art Accents and a chipboard butterfly from Making Memories Flutter collection (love when all my different manufacturers work together).
Beautiful card! Love your color inspiration! 🙂
GORGEOUS card!!
