Card 4 - Spring Floral

The stamps for this card are from Penny Black.
The colorful background was created with Brilliance inks rubbed onto white paper. My photo didn't really capture the color or sparkle very well. 
A new spray from Tsukineko called Shimmer Spritz was sprayed over the flowers a beautiful sparkle.

The original design of this card was created by Elizabeth Allan, a friend of mine who's a talented stamper and writer.  I simply chose different colors for Spring!
