Spring has Sprung!

Spring is in the air, so today I have a bright and cheery little card to share with all of you.  This little nugget is a finished size of 4 1/4" square.

Supplies:
Curious Metallic Virtual Pearl, 8.5 x 11
Curious Metallic Mandarin, 8.5 x 11
patterned paper from SEI Claire collection
Bright orange ribbon
Also: scissors, scoring tool, adhesive and dimensional adhesive

Simple Steps:
Cut your cardstock and paper:
  Card base is from Pearl, cut to 8 1/2 x 4 1/4; score in half (4 1/4) on long side to make a square base
  Mandarin accent cut to 3 3/8 x 3 3/8
  Focal patterned paper cut to 3 1/4 x 3 1/4

Attach the focal paper to the mandarin accent piece.  Add the ribbon and tie with a knot or bow -- whatever gives you a whirl!

In my leftover chunk of patterned paper, I found a flower that I wanted to cut out and use as an embellishment.

Attach the assembled patterned front to the card base and add a few dimensionals on your hand-cut accent piece.

Then in no time, you have a sweet little Spring card, ready to send off to brighten someone's day!
