This was a fast and simple card! I'm sure I'll be making more of them in the future.
I stamped the sentiment in Versamark on white c.s. and heat embossed it with clear e.p. Then the fun began - I stamped various dots and circles in lots of spring colors. When I was through, I used a paper towel to wipe the color off the sentiment. Perhaps I should have stamped darker colors because I wasn't overly thrilled with how the sentiment sort of faded into the pale colors. So, I cheated just a bit and added a gray shadow with a Copic marker to the left side of the letters. That made all the difference - really made it pop! The photo leaves a lot to be desired but it is an overcast day and not much I can do about it.
Thanks for looking! Hope my card helps to inspire you to create a card.

Oh, I love all the fun circles in spring colors. How cheerful on this rainy weekend I'm having. Shading the letters was a great idea.
