The bright and cheerful color palette on The Dusty Attic Inspiration Board reminded me of the beautiful fuchsia plant.
For me, the words "Burst" and "Splash" from the Inspiration Board vividly describe Springtime - bursts and splashes of gorgeous colors from nature are everywhere!
Here is the beautiful color palette from The Dusty Attic!
I chose to use The Dusty Attic Floral Corners #DA0848
I coated this chippie with white gesso; then heat embossed the leafy areas with LSG Spring Leaf Chartreuse. I applied Liquid Pearls in Ocean Blue color to the outlines of each flower and Daffodil color to the stamens.
The open flower petals in this chippie are perfect to hold microbeads! I mixed together the colors Peony, Bubblegum & Clear. Glossy Accents was used to hold the microbeads in place.

I printed and fussy cut a few cute blue & lime colored butterfly images; made double layer front wings using foam dots for a dimensional effect and then added Stickles for sparkle. I formed the bodies and antennae with 22 gauge black wire.
I found the cutest Die-namics circle doily dies online and just had to use a couple of them on this card! I was introduced to My Favorite Things dies by my good friend, Tracy Funk. You should stop by her blog and be totally WOWed by her creativity!
Finally, some ribbons in coordinating colors made for a nice hanger of my card plaque.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit and have a wonderful day! Lisa : )
