DCBD Happy Spring

I recently came across the Diva Coffee Break Design blog and thought I would do their sketch for the week:

Of course, I was in a big hurry the first time and didn't realize where the sentiment was to go, so that one got put aside for this one:

I only wish the sentiment on this was a little darker, but this textured cardstock can be a challenge in that regard.  But I love this little Inque Boutique girl and I thought it went well with the Parisian Breeze cardstock.  The lighting is a little off in this photo, but you can see she is stamped in Basic Brown, then watercolored, and finally overstamped with Linen.  She makes me smile!

• Stamps:  Flutter By Butterfly, Inque Boutique, IBBG, Linen
• Paper:  Baja Breeze, Parisian Breeze, Shimmery White, Creamy Caramel
• Ink:  Basic Brown, Baja Breeze, Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip
• Acc:  Aquapainter, Eyelet Border Punch, Brads, Flower Fusion Too, Taffeta Ribbon, Dimensionals, Large Oval Punch

Now for the "wrong" one!  I was reading Vicki's post here about Liquid Applique, and I realized I had a tube and maybe used it ONCE.  So I thought, I should try it again....I usually smashed it once it went in the envelope, and she said to let it dry for a day or so, so that's what I am doing.  So here's my attempt:

And here's a closeup:

 

 

There is actually glitter on top, perhaps you can see a tiny bit of it!  It was fun to do, and even though my sketch is "technically" incorrect, I still think it's a cute card!
