Pretty Paper and thoughts of Spring


Patterned paper by Stampin up (Sweet Pea)
Sentiment by Impression Obsession
Copic Spica Glitter markers Clear & Chocolate




As soon as I saw this paper I was in love with it and could think of nothing other than Spring- and thought why not try making a grid kind of card. I also wanted to add some sparkle and shine to it using my new Copic Spica glitter markers. I know it's very hard to see (my lighting stinks!)  but I added some glittery white/clear to the white dots on the butterfly's wings and did the edges of the brown cardstock in brown glitter marker as well. I also traced around the butterfly's brown edge to try to get them to stand out a bit more. It looks so darn pretty in real life, especially when the sun hits it!

I'm sooooo ready for Spring here.....the winters in Wisconsin are long and cold! Hope this card gets you in the mood for green grass, flowers blooming, birds chirping, and warm sunny days!
