Abundant Hope

I made this card up a few days ago and I am just getting around to posting it.  I saw a similar card on Nancy Dawson's blog HERE and couldn't wait to make it.  I added a few twists of my own.
I used the Abundant Hope set from the soon to be retiring Occasions Mini catalogue.  Oh will I be sad to see some of these wonderful sets, papers, brads, etc go!!! 
Here is the picture of my card..........

I used the Embossing Frame technique, then dotted flower centers with Summer Sun, then the random dots with Mellow Moss to make them simulate leaves.  I coloured the flower image in using the markers with a bit of shading.  Here's the recipe:

Stamp:  Abundant Hope
Ink:  Barely Banana, Basic Black
Markers:  Barely Banana, Summer Sun, Mellow Moss, Old Olive, Only Orange
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Barely Banana
Other:  Big Shot, Petals A Plenty Impressions Folder, Apricot Appeal GG Ribbon (retired)

This was a fun card and it showcases my "Stamp Of The Month" for April with is Abundant Hope.  Thanks for taking time to visit my blog today, I appreciate it.
