Hello Stampers~
How are you all today? We're in for a beautiful day here in NH...gonna be in the upper 50's and sunny! :) I know for some of you that's nothing; but we've had such a harsh winter that the 50's sound FABULOUS!
Today the Flourishes design team is sneaking another gorgeous set from this month's release, called Spring Has Sprung. Every month I think I say, "This month's sets are my favorites!"....but that's just how I feel all over again! Today's set is just as sweet and adorable as can be. :)
I went with a very soft color palette for my card. I stamped the image in Memento Rich Cocoa, rather than my usual Tuxedo Black. I then colored it using Copic markers, and air-brushed the background with my Copic Air Brush System. The pretty papers are from Echo Park's new For the Record pack. I love the new Prima mulberry flower sprigs that Flourishes is now carrying. I chose a white one to accent my main image. I finished things off with a lacy punched border, and several pretty ribbons from Flourishes fabulous collection.
Here's a close up for you:
You probably can't see it in the photo; but I added a tiny amount of Glossy Accents to the bunnies eyes to give them a more realistic look. My card size is 5-1/4" square.
Here are the Copic markers I used:
