Spring Colors 2 - Plaid Pre-Designed Background (design 1)Completed by Peggy Stogdill

I reduced the size to fit a 5.5" card and printed two copies on one sheet of matte photo paper. In my photo program, I made one copy slightly darker and the original slightly smaller than the darker one.

I attached the lighter, smaller copy with dst to the inside right for an insert, and the slightly darker copy to the card front, which I decorated with paper lace, die-cut trees and heart "blossoms", a die-cut cat, punched grass, and two little birds and a sentiment left over from other cards.

I used silicone gel to attach the cat, the sentiment, the birds and some of the hearts for dimension--everything else is glued into place.
