I actually started this for the LSC176 and it wasn't until I was all finished that I realized the whole LSC was to use summer themed stamps! Nothing summer about this... look springy and the sentiment too! LOL! At least I kept to the 3 layers and limit the embellishments.
I used my sewing machine to stitch decorative lines above and below the ribbon. The close up picture is another upload.
The colors I used for each image:
BIRD: creamy caramel, close to cocoa, white gel pen
BUTTERFLY: more mustard, pumpkin pie, really rust, white gel pen
FLOWERS,LEAVES,GRASS: pink pirhouette, cameo coral, puerly pomegranate, old olive, kiwi kiss
POT: sahara sand in the shadows to create a dirty white look
SKY: baja breeze
Ink: brilliance graphite black, SU baja breeze,pink pirhouette,cameo coral,purely pomegranate,sahara sand,kiwi kiss,old olive,more mustard,pumpkin pie,really rust,creamy caramel,close to cocoa
Accessories: white gel pen, white taffeta ribbon, button bouquet baja breeze button,aquapainter waterbrush, sponges,cuttelbug embossing folder,sewing machine and thread,stickles

What a fabulous card this is! I love your bg and especially your programmed stitch! It just gives such pizazz to your blue bg! Totally awesome, but your image is the show stopper here! Beautifully colored and topped off perfectly w/that button and ribbon. This is just gorgeous! Kudos.
