A Week with Springtime Doodles-Day 4

Today is Day 4 of  "A Week with Springtime Doodles,"  My new favorite set that  Beth Silaika designed for Papertrey Ink.  Here it is:
  
  
Today's card is for this week's Make It Monday, hosted by Betsy Veldman.  You can see the video and link up your creation if you click here. Honestly, I didn't think I had any tissue paper, and then I went and dug around in the guest room closet, and found a lot.  Isn't everybody's tissue paper in the guest room closet?  That's not weird, right?

Here's my card:


I created all the flowers with tissue paper.  There are 2 layers of each color.  I glued them on some white paper and set them aside to let them dry.  I stamped the stem and leaves and then ran it through my Big Shot with the Woodgrain impression plate.  I used the medium scallop die on the two colors of blue to mimic the sky and added the green rhinestones on the bottom to mimic the grass.  When the flowers were dry, I adhered them down, some with pop dots to add dimension, and added the silver centers.  Then everything was mounted on a piece of Royal Velvet cardstock. 

Betsy put me a little out of my comfort zone with her technique this week, which is what Make It Monday is about, I suppose.  

And you know, I'm going to enter this in Jenny's challenge at Wee Memories.  With  two-weeks to enter as many projects as we want to and with any theme,why not?   Here's the link if you want to play along.

Three more days of highlighting this set!  Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!
