Hello everyone and welcome to another Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media Challenge where we are asking for things with
and I came up with this card
I began by lightly blending a couple of colours of pan pastels on a square of card and then stenciled over it with one of the Papertrey Ink Modern Background stencils. I stamped and die cut the blossom bough and goldfinch from the PTI Spring Woods stamp and die set and arranged them over the background.
Next, I stamped, coloured and fussy cut a little butterfly from the Happy Little Stampers Thinking of You stamp set, and then stamped the sentiment from the same set. I matted the panel onto some pink card and raised it on the base card with some fun foam before finishing it off with a few yellow glittered enamel dots.
and as it is

Wow Carol, this is really pretty. The acid yellow and shocking pink work beautifully together, you have such a great eye for colour xx
