JustRite - Thinking of You

Hi there!

I made this card for the latest challenge at JustRite, Challenge #093 - Suddenly Spring! 

This is my first time using the Violette Vintage Labels Stamps, they are so pretty and fun to color!  I decide on purples and yellows for colors and colored them with pencils and mineral spirits.   I also added some Buttercup Liquid Pearls to the flower centers and the strips in the background of the stamp.  The sentiment is cut and popped on the main image.

The dies behind the image are from brand new toys I just got in the mail Saturday called Timeless Rectangles from Spellbinders.  I LOVE the lacy look of the outside edges...just gorgeous and fun to layer with!

Along with our spring inspired creation, we are to say what spring means to us. For me, now living is Southern California, it's almost hard to tell when it's spring! After growing up in Boston and living in New Hampshire for many years, I'm still in awe of how beautiful the weather is here. We do have some trees that kind of went dormant for the "winter" and are now full bloom. I love the yellowy green of when they are first blooming! Other than that though, it's hard to tell!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:
