Happy Spring!

Hi all!  Well, the rain here seems to finally have subsided and today it's a gorgeous sunny day in the 80's.. Yay! Crazy weather, we've been having, I tell ya!  Just a day or so ago it was in the mid 50's, gloomy and raining. Anyway, I thought I would share some sunny springtime cheer, and get in two challenges to boot! 8-)

For today, I chose CR84FN Color Challenge #21 to use the colors Garnet, Chartreuse and Cream, which are colors I never would have thought to put together on my own, so it was a fun challenge for sure, to stretch my imagination a bit, color wise.  I also chose The Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #184,  Round or Square.... Hmmm, well, it ended up being more of a  rectangle for me LOL, but all the elements are there.. 8-)

I stamped my Impression Obsession Image onto Flourishes Classic Ivory with Memento Tuxedo black and colored it up with my Copics.  I got to used some of my newly acquired Nesties, Classic Squares and Classic Scalloped Squares to cut out my image and give it a fun little decorative mat.  I used a combination of solid colored cardstock from my stash, ( I always love when I can use up some of my left over pieces from previous projects, makes me happy! 8-)...) and some gorgeous Digi DP from Jo Hanna featured at Two Peas in a Bucket.  My Stampendous sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo black onto an adorable little pennant created with another of my new Nesties sets, Lacy Pennants.  And that's pretty much it, I added a a couple of pretty punched borders with the help of a MS border punch, popped up my image and sentiment pennant with some dimensionals, added a bit of ribbon from Michaels and a cute little button to finish it all up. 

Thanks so much for visiting today! 8-)
