I had a hankering to make a card with some bright and cheery colors this week for the challenge. I'm not one for winter and all the cold and sometimes dreary weather that goes with it, so I thought it would be nice to make a card that celebrates spring.
I used some Melon Mambo cardstock to highlight the white of this card. Then I thought it would be nice to add a little Old Olive, so I used both colors for the vertical ribbon layers as well as the layer that I used for the flowers and leaves. Those flowers and leaves are from Fabulous Florets which hadn't seen any ink in a while. It's hard to tell in the picture, but the leaves are embossed with clear embossing powder which not only makes them look nice, but makes them sturdier when they are fussy-cut.
