It's been raining for more than two days straight here and I felt like I needed a little breath of Spring today! This birthday card was quick and easy and uses JustRite's new Breath of Spring violets/forget-me-nots, coordinated with some of my favorite October Afternoon paper!
I simply stamped right on my cream card front and colored the flowers with these Copic markers that coordinated with the paper:
The birthday sentiment is from JustRite's Just A Note set. It was stamped, punched and tied with twine. A little Cuttlebug embossing grounds the flowers and completes this card! I hope it puts a little Spring into your day!
JustRite Stampers®: JB-09715 Breath of Spring, JB-08790 Just A Note
Dies & Punches: Cuttlebug With Love embossing strips, Fiskars Apron Lace edge punch, EK Success 1-3/8" circle punch
Paper: October Afternoon Farm Fresh, Neenah Natural White cardstock
Ink: Papertrey Ink Ocean Tides, Memento Rich Cocoa, Copic markers
Accessories: Papertrey Ink twine
Super Lovely!

Very pretty, and I like how you used the embossing strip across the bottom. I usually think of them vertically! As for the rain, at least you don't have to shovel it!
