HAPPY SPRING!!! Wow there is a lot going on today. It's the 1st (Official) day of Spring, It's my birthday and it's Blogger Challenge Friday. Our theme for this weeks was, "Think Spring!"
For my card I chose the tulips from a very old SU set called (Nice and Easy Notes) that was in the catalog for many, many years. I got my inspiration from a card I received in a swap where the maker had layered the tulips and I thought it was just so clever that I decided to do the same thing myself. I stamped extra flowers and cut and raised them up using foam mounting tape. (I can't wait for my Tulips to bloom.) I didn't have any water color paper so I had to use Whisper White and even though I'm not the greatest at watercoloring I think it turned out quite well.
My papers are from Imaginisce (For Peep's Sake) collection. They are so pretty and have sparkle all over them that just makes it so cheery.
I layered my tulips on card stock from (Coordinations) and Whisper White that I used my Labels II Nestabilies Die on and watercolored the edge with So Saffron ink. I added a piece of Certainly Celery Twill ribbon that I stamped the sentiment (Studio G) on with Palette Noir ink. I also added a punched border of Pretty in Pink using my MS Lace Doily Punch and 3 Sugar Coated Brads (Doodlebug Design) The card base is Kiwi Kiss and Pretty in Pink.
I hope you all have a wonderful day. I'll be celebrating the day by doing whatever I feel like and not having to cook all day long!!!
