Marci takes us into Spring!

Hello again,

Aud Sentiments Challenge theme this time is Use a Spring or Easter Sentiment and so its time for my mid-challenge reminder to inspire you to join in :D

The fabulous sponsor this time isGreat Impressions Rubber Stamp Co so please do check them out.  As I didn't have anything stocked by the sponsor I went my own way, but please do check them out, they offer some great stuff and the prize is awesome!

Here is my design...


Here's the how's:
I used Ballerina Marci by La La Land Crafts, I think she is discontinued but if you shop around you can still find her!
She is coloured in Copic's on super smooth card and then hand cut leaving a small border (I don't usually leave a border when I'm fussy cutting but as I wanted to mat her onto a similar colour I wanted her to stand out.
The papers used are from the gorgeous Craft Work Cards Botanical paper pad and I have matted them onto a 7inch square card blank (Top Tip: my fav thing to do as regular followers will know!  I cut down an 8x8 inch card blank to 7inch square so I had the extra room in the envelope for the flowers and any hangover!)
I created the mat in the centre using a Spellbinders die and chose to use it horizontally to add structure and I used Shabby Green Frantage to decorate it.
Now my fav bit lol the embellies!  I used my hot glue gun to twist the rose lace along the bottom of the card and a tiny bit on the top left for balance.  I then used coordinating flowers and pins in the gaps left by the rose lace!  And that's it :D
The supplies used above for this card can be found at That Craft Place and here's the links you need:
