We've been having the best weather the last few days. The trees and plants are all starting to bloom, Spring is definitely here! So in honor of the recent burst of Spring, I thought I would make some cards with flowers.
This first card is very simple. I water colored the image on watercolor paper with markers, then cut the image out. The cardstock is Naturals Ivory. I tore the edge and sponged on some Brocade Blue ink and stamp the sentiment in that same color. The final touch was a piece of wide Artichoke Organdy ribbon and a piece of Ivory Organdy ribbon.
This second card is a bit more fancy. The base is Old Olive. I sponged the edges and added paper piercing around the entire card. The main image is stamped on Very Vanilla and layered on Rose Red. I used the spotlight technique on the image to add just a bit of color to one area. I added some brads and a photo corner to the top corner and a piece of Ivory Organdy ribbon around the bottom with a piece of Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware. The final accents are two 3D butterflies. The sentiment was stamped with Olive ink.
Hope you all have a great weekend. Happy Stamping!! :)
