April Showers Bring May Flowers

I am playing along with the Verve Stamps April Diva Dare - Day One challenge which is to make something that fits the theme of "April showers bring may flowers."  I am always happy to ink up my new stash of Verve Stamps.  This company has quickly made it to my top three favorites (along with Papertrey Ink and My Favorite Things)!  I combined this challenge with the Clean & Simple Stamping Sketch #137.


I inked 3 Verve Stamps sets to make this card.  Those pretty flowers are from the Wishful Elegance set, the leaves are from the Dream Big set, and that sentiment is from the Thankful Accents set.  I just love that font!  I colored the flowers with my copics (YR18, YR15, YR12, Y08, Y04) and I adhered the smaller flower on top of the larger one with a foam dimensional and added PTI b\pure poppy buttons to the center.  I stamped PTI Background Basics: Text Style to the white panel in SU crumb cake ink.  The leaves are stamped in SU old olive ink.  I adhered that pretty patterned paper from the Memory Box Brioche 6x6" paper collection onton PTI kraft CS.  The ribbon is PTI harvest Gold.  Here is the sketch:
