Good morning blog friends, have you had enough of these grey, cold mornings here in the UK? I have, and am hoping that with the advent of March tomorrow then we will begin to see some spring sunshine :) Whilst waiting I've been getting lots of inspiration for spring & summer trends and colours and the idea for this card came from an article on lazy dazy summer afternoons - ooh yes please!

I love the layers and colours and have entered this card into the Pals Paper Arts sketch 153 challenge which is all about layers this week as well as the Less is More Paper Piercing week 108 challenge.
For layer #1 I have used Fan Fair designer series paper which I've also used for the hand rolled roses - I just adore the vintage shabbiness of these paper designs. I have used the scallop edge punch to give the designer series paper a pretty edge.
Layer #2 is pink pirouette cardstock, layer#3 is basic black cardstock which the leaf is also from using the bird builder punch, feature #4 is the vellum jar and stalk stamps from the now retired Perfectly Preserved stamp set which have been stamped in black Stazon ink which is perfect for permanence on non porous surfaces and then die cut through the Big Shot using the cannery framelits. Layer #5 is the vellum overlay which the Happy Birthday sentiment has been stamped onto, again using stazon ink. To finish off I have paper pierced around the edges of the sentiment banner and popped 3 basic pearls to hide the sharp edges.
Very simple mix of colours and products but very pretty! Here's a closeup of the paper piercing and banner detail ..
