With all the winter weather here…I needed a little reminder of spring yesterday! With five kids home for the day…it couldn’t be too involved…busy, busy, busy….so I came up with this quick floral design to remind me of spring. We’re still in the grips of a winter storm this morning. School is canceled…again. And the elementary school has a PA Day Friday so….it is going to be quite the week.
Floral Hi
Sorry this card design is a little large! For some strange reason my blog server is having a few issues this morning! Also, I just realized, I can’t add any links…I’ll have to edit them in later. Sorry! As I mentioned…I wanted to create a quick card yesterday and my new Cornish Heritage Farms backgrounder stamps were perfect for doing that. I just love them! I also paired them up with this week’s CPS sketch…I took a few liberties with the main panel but hey! It’s for inspiration right? 😉 To break up the crisp white cardstock, i stamped my new Spanish Script stamp in Olive across the middle of my 4×9″ card base. I always love this size of card…why do I not use it more?!
The main image panel is was stamped with the Wild Rose stamp and then colored in with my Copic markers. To add a touch of texture, I inked up my Scratched Grid backgrounder with Creamy Caramel ink and then stamped over top of my image. A little Hi sentiment from Kim Hughe’s Scripty Words set is tucked at the bottom of the image.
To work in the flourish that is part of the CPS layout, I pulled out my sewing machine for a very free-style type flourish of vine and leaves. On top of that, a velvet brad from Making Memories is set in the middle of a Prima flower.
Hope you enjoy it and have a wonderful day! 🙂 How’s the weather in your neck of the woods? Beginning to look a lot like Christmas yet? 😉
