Good Morning!
Whoever stole our Spring, please give it back!!! OMG, I think February was warmer for us that April so far! By now, in years past, I would have already planted some flowers. I have had no desire to plant anything since I don't find it very fun when you have to wear a winter coat to plant your flowers!!! LOL!!! Speaking of flowers, I made this card yesterday for SCS Clean and Simple (CAS) challenge.
The base of this card is Chocolate Chip CS with a mat of Pink Pirouette and then Whisper White. I did the grid technique, on the upper portion and then pierced along the edges using one of my Ornare piercing templates. You can find the SUPER easy grid technique tutorial HERE. I stamped the flower pot from Verve's Miracles Blossom set on Whisper White using Chocolate Chip ink. I then stamped the stems (using Celery ink) and tulips (using Pink Pirouette ink) from Verve's Floral Symphony set. I stamped the flower pot and tulips a second time on Whisper White and cut them out. The tulips were colored using a blender pen and Pink Pirouette ink pad and the flowers pot was colored using Prismacolor pencils. I mounted these on top of the first stamped images using dimensionals. I added Opal Shimmerz on top of the flowers. I then cut them out using my oval Nesties and matted on a Pink Pirouette scalloped oval. This was then mounted on the front using dimensionals.
Have a great day!
