Kirby's Kards: Pansies

You know it's Spring when you start to see the beautiful pansies everywhere! I love these bright, petite, delicate flowers.

I had the opportunity to go with Melissa and Gayla, my friends from Two Paper Divas, to a trunk show they were having at Scrapbook-N-Memories in Harrisonville, MO. They had all of their stamp sets, along with samples using their stamps for the customers to check out. It was very successful and one of the stamp sets that was extremely popular was Seed Packet Flowers #2. It includes four different flower arrangements and I decided to share a card I made using that set. Check it out:

The color combination for this card is yellow, teal and green. After I decided that, I picked out a couple of patterned papers for the background. I used a scalloped border punch for the bottom of the yellow paper. The white circle is a punched die cut surrounded by a scalloped circle die cut. I added cream twine, green seam binding for the bow and a cute paper flower on top of the bow. The "Beautiful Wishes for a Beautiful Day" sentiment is from Two Paper Divas, Happy Mother's Day set. I wanted to give you a close up of the pansies because I used a yellow Wink of Stella pin and a teal Copic marker. I topped the teal flowers with a gold Wink of Stella pin to give them the same shimmer. Doesn't that glitz add so much to the card??!!
