On to my creation! I started out being inspired by THIS layout over on Mojo Monday! I love a good sketch when my mojo is running low!
Here's the sketch....you could do round... or square!
And, here's my card!
I picked some scrap papers to match the color inspiration and used a mix of Glitz, Carta Bella True Friends and Teresa Collins Designs Memories. Add a honeycomb embossing folder and sand it for a little extra pop. Add some Green Cotton Stripes ribbon a wooden button and that's pretty much the layout. For the image, I used the Garden Dreams stamp set and then cut it out with a circle die cut shape. While the die was still on, I sponged on some Antique Linen Distress Ink and colored it all up with Copic Markers (you can see my supply list below for all the colors I used).
Here's a close up....

I love the honeycomb texture on the banner! That's brilliant! I love this sweet image too...just perfect for the spring! It's a beautiful card Julie!
Thank You! As a vintage girl who sometimes feels the need to wear sunglasses when viewing the beauty on your blog, I so appreciate that you did one card without bling. And a mighty lovely card it is! Like how you added texture to your banner, your coloring is perfect and you did a fab job with the Antique Linen Distress ink. What a way to send me into the kitchen to start Mr Wonderful's dinner! Thanks and Happy Weekend!! Gotta brag -- my nephew, who turned 17 yesterday, did an amazing job in last night's baseball game. He got 2 doubles, a single and FIVE RBIs!!! Hope your kiddos are having an awesome spring, too. denise g.
