Spring, Finally
At last April feels like April. Dogwoods, sun, blue sky.
How I made this card: Stamps used: the flowers, center of the flowers, and leaves are from Memory Box clear stamps set In The Garden. I had read that these clear acrylic stamps did not stamp well. Au contrair! They stamp beautifully -- first time! And so easy to place the leaves right on the stems.
The words and the stems are from Papertreyink's Paper Trey. Each flower has a tiny Amuse Arts twinkle.
Ink: Stampin Up Pink Passion, Lavender Lace classic ink pads and Green Galore Marker; Memories Dye Black ink; black pigment pen for the little marks on the lavender flowers.
Memory Box stamps are not as easy to find as others. I ordered mine from Sweet and Sassy Crafts, which I highly recommend. Anna is honest and reliable!
Get out of here! This is just fabulous, girl, such faboo Spring colors.
ReplyDeleteLove this card...and I totally agree about Memory Box stamps. I love mine. To me, they aren't as sticky as some of the others that I have. And by the way...I love your blog. Yours is one of my absolute favorite. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a FABULOUS nod to spring. TFS.
ReplyDeleteThat's very pretty! And thank you for letting us know where to get those stamps - they are very hard to find!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so pretty, and I love the bright cheery colors!
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely Joan. Simple, fresh and clean. I love the little bit of bling in the center of each flower. Awesome as always. :)

We had blue sky here today, too, and it was wonderful! Your card beautifully illustrates the feel of this day!
ReplyDeleteI actually wanted to post a comment about your "too pink" card, but couldn't find the comments place. I like that you added what your husband and son had to say:) I always solicit my husband and son's opinions, knowing full well if it's masucline colors, they'll love it and if it's feminine they'll just give a polite smile. IMHO there is no such thing as "too much pink." Love your care -- and the circle, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and layout of this card - very pretty!
ReplyDeleteJoan, this rocks!!! I love how simple and clean it is. I sure can't wait to purchase this set...thats next months wish list:))
