HOW TO PLAY OUR 'POP OF PASTELS' CHALLENGE:
"With Spring slowly making away across the land, it reveals the beautiful of so many gorgeous blooms and buds: blooms of soft buttery yellows, light lavender purples and pastel rosy pinks. So for this month's challenge, I want to see you create with a soft, subtle color palette of PASTELS. Let's see those creamy oranges, delicate grassy greens and beautiful soft shades of color on your cards and creations. I was inspired to create a card using the subtle palette of watercolor on my bouquet. I can't wait to see what you create!" ~ Ally

On to my creation!
I have a bit of a throwback to share today! It's actually one that I created a while back but never shared! While I didn't craft it specifically for this challenge, it kind of fits! Don't worry, I think I'll be using a lot of pastels this month. Spring is in the air afterall, right?
For this spotlight creation, I stamped the Azalea image from Power Poppy on the decorative paper and then again on white card stock. I figured out which portion of the image I wanted in color and then, using a series of circle dies, cut that portion of the image out and colored it up with Copic markers. I added a little BasicGrey decorative paper, some bling and then added the sentiment thanks to a 1" circle punch. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! And that, my friends, is it!

Oh, how beautiful, Julie!! I love this azalea, and she really is a beauty against the newsprint...she really pops with stunning color - like spring as the flowers pop! Beautifully done and such a great challenge this month! Hugs!
Gorgeous card! Happy Easter to you and yours!
Love how you have coloured the circle of flowers - beautiful, and then stamped the design to extend the flowers underneath. All looks fabulous on the type- written background. Wishing you and your family a very happy Easter :-)
Oh my - so pretty! I love the way you 'highlighted' just that one blossom!
Absolutely exquisite Julie!
OH this is just Beautiful and LOVE how you Spotlighted this so nicely. Using the newsprint in the back and that layered on the pretty greenish paper... Just love the whole look...
Not to mention your BEAUTIFUL coloring of the Azales!!!!
Yes this diffently fits challenge!
Oooo... love this Julie!!!! That newsprint has a place in my card and so does this card. It's gorge-ous! Happy Easter my friend!
A-HA!! I remember this as a sneak peek because I thought then how beautiful it was with the bookprint style background and that pretty pink blossom. LOL...it's amazing what this brain can and cannot remember, know what I mean? Anyways, I just LOVE this sweet card, Julie! Using a spotlight technique really makes that bloom extra, extra-special!
