Penny Black 42 Think Spring

This card was made for today's Penny Black challenge, #28, a sketch and to "Think Spring". I've been seeing this color combo in flower gardens with Pansies: dark purple, soft purple and yellow. And it is definitely a sping combo! I used all DCWV, starting with a moss green, followed by dark purple, which I embossed with my new Cuttlebug embossing folder... I know, it's hard to see. I'll use it again, have no fear! I topped that with a soft yellow, embossed with my new CB embossing border! It just went perfectly with little Hedgie's flowers :). I colored the image with Copics and sponged the backbround with yellow chalk and the edges with purple chalk. I used my opaque white marker to make white dots on the scalloped square Nestabilties. The image is also cut with square Nesties. I used purple gingham ribbon (which screams spring to me). I popped the image up on foam dots. I finished the card with white pearls as accents.

So, there it is! Thanks a bunch for lookin'!
