TECC58 - Spring Has Sprung!

I have a confession to make.  I "cheated" on today's sketch for Taylor's Cupcake Friday challenge.  Can anyone figure out what I did?  -  You see I have an extremely difficult time cutting squares evenly and not only that but all the images I tried were either to big or two small for what I wanted to do.  Then I remembered that I had this cool stamp (Magenta) that already had 9 square panels built right into the actual stamp.  So I colored all three panels and then cut them out and mounted them onto a background square of Lovely Lilac cs.  I colored the flowers wit Prisma Colored Pencils and cut out and layered the middle flower only.  I highlighted the flowers with a Yellow and Orange Spica Glitter Pen.
I'm also going to confess that this isn't my favorite card that I've ever done and in fact I'm not even sure I like it much at all but after several hours of working on it and the fact that my fingers are pretty much numb now (due to my Carpal Tunnel issues) I'm going to call it a day and post it anyway.  I hope it brightens your day.

Stamps: Flower Trio Panel - Magenta, Sentiment from Studio G
