Saturated Canary Challenge

Morning all, I have a card today for the fab Saturated Canary Challenge, which has this wonderful picture for inspiration:

Spring is trying to, well, spring here, we had a couple of lovely days towards the end of last week, but today it's all grey and gloomy again.

Anyway, Spring is definitely springing on my card - I have used this cute couple 'Puppy Love' from Saturated Canary. I got this image a little while ago to make a card for my son's 'girlfriend'. It's her birthday next week, and I always think these gorgeous girls are very much like his little friend!

I tried to colour them to resemble my son and his friend, but I really struggled with their hair - my son has a dirty blonde shade, and Olivia's is much fairer. I think I need to practice my combos a bit more! I coloured them with Promarkers, and teamed the image with some pretty Pink Petticoat papers, and some MFT Sno Cone and Natural card.

I cut them out using a Go-Create die, and made a little side panel to offset on the card. I then stitched all the panels with some aqua thread.

I added some sweet butterflies using some Memory Box dies topped with some tiny gems.

I added some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, along with some MFT die cut flourishes, and a sentiment panel cut using a Stampin' Up! punch and stamp.

I had to get some ribbon in here somewhere, and wrapped some Pink Pleated Satin ribbon from The Ribbon Reel around my offset panel before layering all together.

I would also like to enter this into:

The Shabby Tea Room - Beautiful Spring

Party Time Tuesdays - Anything Goes

Passion for Promarkers - To Die For

Finally I added some tiny little heart gems between this cute couple, well they are in Love!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope the sun is shining wherever you are!
