I loved my box of 64 crayons when I was a kid. I'd pull out several colors to use together. This is the only color combination that I remember being a favorite. I had that childlike glee when I saw Just Add Ink's Colour Challenge 105.
This sketch by The Ribbon Carousel Challenge Blog was perfect for using some spring flowers and generous dose of ribbon.

On the stamped image, I stamped the sentiment first in Spring Iris ink, then stamped the planter with the same ink. The flowers were stamped four times with Brown Stazon ink, twice above the pot and twice on a scrap of white. The pot was colored with a blender pen and the Spring Iris ink pad. The flowers were colored with Buttercup and Sweet Leaf markers, then with Spring Iris in the middle. I cut out the extra flowers and pop-dotted one in the middle above the main image and adhered two halves of the other, one on each side. I wanted the flowers to be full and spilling over the sides. Then I colored with a bluegreen Copic around the main image and used a Copic blender to lighten it. The green patterned paper has a slight paisley design, but it was so faint that I wanted to emboss it with the Cuttlebug "Mary Ann" folder. I am thrilled that they made another that fits my 6.5" x 5" cards! Can't wait for spring! (We're having a thunderstorm here tonight, but that means tornado season is just around the corner, too!)

This is a lovely card, Vickie. I really like the embossed background, the paper flowers, and the sentiment you've used. Thanks for joining in the JAI challenge this week.
