Spring is Here!

Another card today featuring the "Vintage Easter" cardstock stickers from Karen Foster Design.  Also another monochromatic card, but this time in yellows / golds with the "Spring is Here!" sticker adding the only other colors to the palette.

Some Details:
  • The vintage-y background paper is from Cosmo Cricket's "Circa 1934" line.  It's so perfectly retro!  On top of that, I layered a creamy punched paper border that was spritzed with Perfect Pearl mist, a length of caramel velvet ribbon, and a line of bisque Liquid Pearls.
  • I made a daffodil from two paper flowers, accented the center with more Liquid Pearls and arranged it with a hand-dyed seam binding bow.
