Tiddly Inks - Spring

Tiddly Inks challenge blog currently has a spring-themed challenge, and I thought I'd enter. I've got a growing collection of Tiddly Inks stamps, and I wanted to create something fun and pretty with them.

I chose to go with Fairy Tenderhearted, as she just looks like a personification of spring: time for growth and caring. I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored the image in with my Copics.

I cut the stamped image into a circle using the Sizzix circle dies. Then, I cut a scalloped circle from Bazzill's Tahitian Princess cardstock. This cardstock is fantastic because it comes already embossed, so it added a great texture to the card.

For the paper, I chose a flowered pattern paper that had both pink and aqua hues. I glued it to the cardstock, then added the stamped image and a strip of cardstock on the bottom for the sentiment.I stamped the word "Spring" on a piece of vellum cardstock and embossed it with Liquid Platinum embossing powder.

The last touch was a pink polkadot button, glued to the velum.
