I paired this week's sketch with an old Just Add Ink colour combo. Loved this combo because it had wonderful spring colours. After all the snow we got and then subsequent torrential rainfall, they were the perfect pick me up LOL!This is the card I made for my daughter's student teacher whose last day in the classroom was this Tuesday (the gift set I made her was in yesterday's post). She was a total sweetheart and the kids all loved her. Any child who gets her will leave her classroom being touched by a truly wonderful teacher.
As per the need for a weather pick-me-up, and staying with the spring colour theme, I decided to make another button bouquet. The colours were perfect for some pink and blue flowers :) Love how these two dotted embossing folders work together...happy sigh :) A pink bow and some green butterflies provided the finishing touch to a splash of spring amidst her winter gift set LOL!
The rest of the Design Team has some great inspiration to get you going on this week's sketch.

Such gorgeous colours on your card this week Marisa. I just love it, definitely gets me in the mood for spring, which unfortunately has just ended here in Australia. I love that you've used both of the dotted embossing folders, and the pink ribbon is just gorgeous. Have fun cleaning the craft room :)
Oooh, I love this Marisa - it is so fresh & "springy"! You're right - those two embossing folders are just made for each other. Adore your button flowers & that beautiful satin bow. :)
This is beautiful!! I love how you used the colors and the sketch. So soft and pretty and the perfect antidote to December weather. Good luck with picking up in the guest room--I know how *that* is!! :)
Oh, I love the spring feel of your card! Those buttons are delightful, and the polka dots are so cheerful!
So cute!

Dots, dots, dots.... love them myself!! Spring colors are wonderful. Sorry I missed the Verve release last night but, I certainly did some shopping this am. BTW...leaves were not a nestie, some bling I picked up at Mike's last year, I think. Glad the snow and rain are gone!!
Love your colour choice on this one, Marisa and your use of buttons is just perfect. Hope all goes well (or went well) with your craft fair!

Love those colors and I'm now ready for Spring. Love your button bouquet...just gorgeous, Marisa!
What cute colors! This is fantastic! Great card - I love everything about it.
Wonderfully lovely! Those soft hues are so delicate and pleasing to the eye! Makes me think of Easter colors...a super fine palette of pastels!
Just darling. Those button flowers and butterflies are so sweet, and the two different embossing backgrounds look really good together.
