I started by stenciling with SU!'s Mint Macaron and Gina K's light, medium & dark Lilac inks and then used Memory Box's Pinpoint Leaf Plate over the top of the stenciled design.
I mounted my stenciled layer to a piece of Mint Macaron cs and then a top folding white card base, and then finished with a sentiment strip that I hot foiled with silver using Spellbinder's Everyday Sentiments II plates and a few PFS gems. These colors are definitely making me wish Spring would hurry up and get here!!
