I stick to the Clean and Simple style since I am finally comfortable less layers, lol! I used Water Lilies & Dragonflies (9204-M) for the image. I picked the colors from the designer paper I used and colored the image with Copic markers. The sentiment, Best Wishes Vertical (6107-J) was stamped on the card base. To finish off, the rhinestones were embellished.

Here is my card :)

I decided to make another Spring card. I used Celebrate Spring (3908-I) and Vase of Tulips (1317-L). The tulips image has a vase but I hid it with the mat of Celebrate Spring. The images were colored with Copic markers and cut out with SB Nestabiliteis Circles. The card was designed with Basic Grey Piccadilly  paper and the colored cardstock. I embellished with the pleated ribbon and lace trim on the bottom of the card. Instead of using the thin strip mat on the top of the card, I embellished the butterfly with swirl pearls. The both butterflies are punched with Martha Stewart punches and embellished with the pearls.
