Well, I’d love to tell you that spring is in the air but frankly, all I see right now is snow…again. I am ready to plant my garden and enjoy spring things but not yet. At least not outside. The good news is that SUO Challenges is celebrating spring so I’m sure that will make me much happier!!
I thought it would be fun to use some spring flowers for my card and what better than this awesome stamp from the Best of Flowers set? I may be one of the only people who didn’t own this stamp when it originally came out so I was really excited to see it in the “Best of ” series. I particularly love the size of it! I inked it up with Pink Pirouette, Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade, then I spritzed it with water to help the colors run together a bit. I spritzed the sentiment too to make it match. I love this technique and haven’t used it in a while. I think it works well for stamps like this one and I’m happy with the watercolor look! I pulled out some old more recent Sale-a-bration offerings with the ribbon and the button. These products are the gift that keep on giving and I love that they go so well with the print from Tea for Two DSP.
The colors for today’s card come from the Fab Friday Challenge. Aren’t they pretty??!! The card is a CASE (copy and share everything) of myself and it is based on this card. Why did I CASE myself?? Because I was chosen as the Featured Stamper over at Splitcoaststampers this week and I thought it would be fun to play along with the challenge.
I certainly hope that you have a little bit of spring where you are but if not, just create a little in your craft area!! The design team has some amazing examples and I know you will be inspired to join in!
Back tomorrow with the latest sketch from Freshly Made Sketches! Thanks for stopping in today. See you soon!
