Card Chain Challenge and Easter

My February CCC card went to Gundi in Germany.  I used my current favorite embossing folder, Blossom Field, by SSS.  The brushes I used for this card still had some CN9 Blueberry and Evergreen inks in them.  It was just enough to give the soft look I wanted.
I sprayed the panel with a light coating of Distress Spritz weathered wood for a bit of shimmer.  You can see it in my IG post video.  Memory Box Hello Friend Posh Script was die cut from white scraps.  I stacked the words 3 high and covered them with a shimmer pen.  The vellum leaves are Alex Syberia.  I'm entering SSS Wednesday.
I've had PTI Wild Blooms layering stencils on my wishlist a long time.  Finally, I got it--just in time for Easter cards.  
I used all PTI inks: Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, Melon Berry, Honey Nut, Simply Chartreuse, Spring Moss and Prairie Grass.  My white splatters turned out very subtle, but more visible in person.  The card is so much prettier than it looks here.  I die cut the completed panel with PTI Scallop Stackers: Small and used Pale Peony cardstock for the mat.  The vellum doily was cut with an old MFT die and the sentiment is IO.  I stacked the sentiment 3 high, brushed on the 3 pinkish inks, covered with a shimmer pen and added Sparkle Pico Embellisher. 
Birch Press Simple Butterfly Contour Layers were die cut from vellum and embellished with tiny clear gems.  I'm entering JUGS Stencil Challenge and Snippets Playground as I used vellum scraps and white scraps for the sentiment. 
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.  If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
