A Spring Bouquet

Hello everyone and I'm back again with one more card on this  Wednesday afternoon

I thought I'd  share one more card using the same image from the new Spring Bouquet Set over at The Artsystamper. 

This time I'm using that bouquet image in the set and yep it too is is perfect for a birthday or a thank-you or whatever the occasion. The tag is part of the set as well. Flowers are so fun to color with Spectrum Noir alcohol ink markers or even colored pencils.

For this card, I fussy cut the bouquet and fashioned a white tissue paper bouquet holder with the bouquet nestled inside. I added some tulle and positioned on top of a lacy diamond shaped die cut. Reminds me of doilies. Next this went on top of the dotted CS

SUPPLIES I USED ON MY PROJECT

Stamps: Digital - The Artsystamper - Spring Bouquet set Paper/Card Stock: White CS, Dotted DP. light green CS Dies used: Heartfelt Creations - Lacy Diamond Accessories: White chunky glittered tulle, White tissue paper, Spectrum Noir alcohol markers

Welcome back my friends!

It's time for the February challenge over on the Crafty Creations Challenges blog. I don't know about you, but I am really tired of cold weather and snow (I'm not a fan of winter) so I decided to showcase some flowers. Maybe that will warm me up a bit!!

I decided to use roses. Recently I saw a tutorial online showing how to  make a wreath card and since then, I have made 3 or 4 so far. These are fun and easy to make. you will probably see a few more very soon here on my blog.

In the meantime, here is my take on the wreath card, using a rose image and the sentiment from the Vintage Roses and Birds set. These are available in The Artsystamper shop
