| The background stamp is from Peddler's Pack. The image was colored using Polychromo colored pencils. I have learned to love this product because they blend so beautifully. |
 |
| I used the spotlight technique for the heart and then traced around the outside of the die and manually cut out the vellum heart. I do have a nesting heart set but the next size up was way too big. The black banner completes the sentiment even though they are from two different sets. |
 |
| The black border looks so sharp against the colored stuffed animals. It frames the background so nicely. I also like the banner continuing under the heart sentiment. It all came together so nicely. |
 |
| As you can probably tell this was no easy task! First, I took a picture of my drawn template and numbered them. I then cut the entire sheet. I traced and cut appropriate pieces and numbered those with the corresponding number on the template. I used an adhesive backed sticker paper and place the pieces. It was then with baited breath I took the back sheet off and placed it on the black base. _____________________ |

| There is a lot going on but it seems to be cohesive due to colors and its gray undertones. Also, the color black seems to unite and frame the main panel nicely. You may notice the black lines around the feathers. It seemed to me with all the busyness they got lost. So, I traced the feathers in black to delineate them a bit better. |
 |
| The 'hello' sentiment was comprised of the same paper scraps from my focal panel. All I did was cut the remainder of my scraps in strips and placed them down on an adhesive sticker sheet. Then I die-cut the sentiment and traced, then cut around the sentiment for the black border. I really enjoy the vellum oval. It gives the sentiment a place to rest. |
 |
| Lots of visual and tactile texture. Notice all the buttons hiding in the flowers. 💖 |

Inkspirational's challenge intrigued me (Oldie but Goodie) I had to look through my stash and pick one of my first set's I received. I chose the set from Stampin' Up called 'My Friend' that I acquired in 2012ish. |
 |
| I really like the burlap leaves along with the kraft paper. They work so well together. |
 |
| These colors are the exact colors from FabFriday. However, the large buttons are saturated with the color that makes it seem darker. |
 |
| Watercolor flowers uses soft, Springy colors surrounded by neutral patterned paper. |
 |
| Detail showing the watercolored tulips. Just some water based markers and an aqua pen created this wonderful scene. |
 |
| The cutest fairy conversing with the mouse is what prompted the sentiment. Plus, I just got it in the mail today and had to try it out. |
 |
| Lots and lots of texture both visual and contextual. The color palette came from our inspiration pin. So Spring-like! |
 |
| I decided to layer up my die cuts for a bit more dimension. So I die cut the sentiment 4x and layered them on top of one another. The 'hello' sentiment was only layered 3x. |
