This lovely image from LeAnn's World 101 Progressive Challenge is perfect for an April/Spring card and is also great for a friendship card.
I colored with ProMarkers, then used a Lawn Fawn die to cut the image and the largest square of background dp. The orange (Smoothie) dp plus the Sapphire square were cut with Cottage Cutz dies. I layered all of those together creating layers.
I printed the sentiment, matted it with a tiny scrap of navy blue CS, and added it below the image piece. I decided on 3 tiny metal brads, putting those into the corner, and 3 crystal raindrops, which I put on the image itself. I've had a long run recently of using kraft CS for card bases and I'm really liking the effect. It seems to make everything on top of the kraft 'pop.'

A very sweet card, I'm not sure you've quite got the Lagoon colour matched its more of an aqua (that might be the lighting) but its lovely regardless. Thanks for sharing at Colour My Heart Colour Dare Challenge. I hope you can join us again soon.
