Oh Happy Day - Just Add Ink

What a beautiful sunny day today and for the first time in a number of days the temperature is above 0 degrees C.  Spring is fast approaching and I can't wait!!  This weekend the clocks go forward 1 hour - this means it will be lighter longer in the evening, but darker longer in the mornings.
It's been a long dreary winter with little sunshine, so today's golden nugget is much appreciated.
The card for the sketch challenge with Just Add Ink here reflects my wish for spring and had 2 panels of bright cheerful flowers.  This card could be for any occasion - birthday, anniversary, etc.



Two Whisper White panels were stamped randomly with brightly colored flowers using one of the SAB stamp sets "Blooming' Marvelous".  The panels were mounted onto Old Olive cardstock and since that made the panels almost disppear into the DSP, they were mounted again onto Whisper White.  The 2 butterflies completed my spring garden. The panels were attached to the card base using dimensionals.

Stamp: Blooming' Marvelous
Inks: Primrose Petals, Marina Mist, Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green, Black Stazon
Papers: Old Olive, Whisper White, Old Olive Polka Dot DSP, Summer Starfruit, Marina Mist
Accessories: Modern Word Label punch, Small butterfly punch, rhinestones, dimensionals. 1/4" white stitched ribbon.

What a gorgeous, bright, card Maria! I'd happily trade our relentless 30-degree-plus days for your cold weather at the moment! Thanks for playing along with us at Just Add Ink this week - love your card. :)
