Spring is in the Air....

....and today I wanted to work on a card that I could submit to two different challenges.  I first wanted to make some bring and pretty and I wanted to use the colors for this week's Copic Colour Challenge, which are these -- 

    The next step to to find an image to color where I could use those colors and I picked pretty flower digi stamp.  I also wanted to be sure that I could use the same card for this week's Card Challenge over at SSC and the challenge their is to create a card based on the word SPRING, where each letter represented an element we needed to incorporate into our card. S for Staples, P or Paper, R for Ribbon,  for I for Ink, N for Neon G for Green - 

    After thinking it all out and with some planning, I came up with this SPRING card that I will be submitting to both challenges.   What do you think?    Do YOU like these colors?

    I think it came out pretty well and I really liked how all the colors worked together.  I also used all of the SPRING elements and even colored some white pearls in the exact matching Copic Colors.  Both challenges turned out to be fun.  I'm off to see if I can find another FUN challenge for the afternoon!

   Happy Thursday and as always,  Happy Crafting!
