Hello Spring

I had some of my “rainbow” alcohol ink background left over and decided to make this card with a simple message.  I used an embossing folder on the left over cardstock and rubbed blue ink over it to bring out the image.  I used a large label die to cut it out and ran red ink along the edges.  This is layered onto the left side of a piece of decorative cardstock, with a border punched from blue cardstock run between.  This is all layered on a card base of the same blue cardstock.

The sentiment is 3398-425A Hello Spring from Sparkle N Sprinkle's new Stamp Set 425 - Spring Swirl.  I love the mixture of two different fonts and it is the perfect size for the label die I used to cut it out.  It is stamped in red ink on the same light blue glossy cardstock I used when I created the “rainbow” background.  I sponged the same red ink around the edges of the label and attached it to the bottom right corner of the card with double stick foam to pop it up.  Then I added a narrow, shiny, red ribbon and bow along the left side to tie it all together.
