The Card Concept - Spring Celebrations

 It's time for another challenge over on The Card Concept blog. 

Today's challenge is: Spring Celebrations
Everyone is welcome to play along using the colors, the theme, 
textures, items, or just anything from the picture as your starting point. 
 
I was inspired by gradient green cake and tropical leaves for my mixed media card.

The background was created by die cutting and gluing a bunch of white tropical leaves to the white card front. I then ran it through my Spellbinders die cutting machine to flatten it into the the paper.
The gradient green panel is watercolor card stocked inked with mowed lawn distress ink, lightly stamped in white pigment ink with the script stamp, and splattered with diluted white acrylic paint. The leaves were die cut from mixed media paper, colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens and splattered with white same acrylic paint.

Beautiful, I so love the gradient look to the background and the leaves are so neat the way they are shaped, the splattering tops it off so nicely!

This is lovely, Esther. The colors fits so great together and you did a great job with our "Circle" theme @ Little Red Wagon this week.
Thanks for joining us and good luck in the draw.
