Think Green {hello}

I am really hopeful Spring will arrive soon. Right now, I'll even take a few consistent warmer days in a row. Brrrr! It's still so COLD. I was thinking green and Spring yesterday as I was creating (and getting dressed....I happened to pull out my green beaded bracelets.....see it was a mood I was in for sure). I used green accents on this card and lots of MFT goodies. 
I am playing along with the latest Card Concept #4 challenge. It's a Floral theme and I used the Freestyle Collage style. 

I was also inspired by my friends over at MFT. They showed off LOTS of stencil techniques with this month's creative challenge. Fun stuff. 

I started with Grout Gray cs and the Delicate Doily stencil. I used a sponge dauber and Grout Gray ink to create the soft and pretty background. 

I also tried the layered die cut technique for my sentiment. I cut the "hi" 3 times from Gumdrop Green cardstock and then glued them all together. It's such a cool way to add more dimension. 

I had the yellow rolled rose already on my desk from a previous project. I stamped some polka dots in Lemon Drop ink on the rose before I rolled it up. I cut two more Mini Rolled Roses in Grout Gray and stamped the Typewriter Text background stamp over top before rolling those. I tucked in a few of my favorite Layered Leaves and then scattered some yummy sequins from Pretty Pink Posh around the flowers. OMG....those clear ones are sooooo pretty.This is fair warning....I'm on a sequin kick....I've been using them on all my projects lately. 

Here is the inspiration photo for the challenge.

I'm also linking this up to the latest Cardabilities #93 challenge. I loved the sketch, so I used it for my card design. 

Thanks a bunch for stopping by today. Sending you warm wishes!
