Somehow, I can make Christmas cards all year long, but I'm not ready for autumn cards until September! lol! Still, I love the warmth of these leaves and the addition of the little die-cut leaves so I used these ideas to make a more spring-y card.
I created my leafy background by extending a circular leaf frame stencil. I blended green ink through the circle of leaves, then masked that circle, moved the stencil to each of the 4 corners and blended some more leaves to get a more continuous look.
I blended ink onto 3 flower die cuts and then added depth with darker shades of Copic Markers.
My die cut sentiment was stacked up with some Inca gold cardstock for the top layer. I finished with Enchanted Forest gems for the flower centres and the dot on the i.

Ardyth, this is such a lovely case of Kate's card. I love the leaf frame stencil you used and your use of bright colors. Beautiful tropical birthday card.

I really like all the green leaves in place of the Fall ones. (Does that make sense?) The raised HB looks great!
