Featured Spring Design by Heather

You'll notice this card as the design used in our blog banner!   It was created by Heather Meeson, so here are a few comments from her about her design: 

Spring_3By Heather Meeson 

When I was first brainstorming design ideas for this image, coloring the letters in an interesting way was one of my top priorities.  The area inside the letters is large and open in comparison with the detailed flowers and animals surrounding it ... making it a rather large focal point.

After coloring "spring" in a solid color on a few designs, I really wanted to give the image a bit of depth, separating the words from the elements around it.  To accomplish this I paper pieced the letters and then popped them up (cutting dimensional tape into small bits to fit).
