Now, I did have to laugh at Cindy's comment about northerners wanting spring and are done with winter. I guess it depends on what north you are talking about :) Here in Alaska our winter pretty much never happened. We've had some cold, but nothing like we are used too, and our snow amounts are a joke. I've never seen a winter like this since we moved here and considering I moved to Alaska FOR the cold and snow I'm not happy about it. So please Lower 48, give Alaska its weather back :)
I decided to use the Pleasant Poppies set and I stamped it in Island Indigo on watercolor paper. I took a blender pen and used it on the lines of the flowers to give them a softer look. Then sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and was also stamped in Island Indigo. Before putting some Island Indigo ribbon around the bottom of the card I sponged the edges of the panel (my daughter was standing there when I started sponging and her comment....oh here we go, mom is sponging again, big shocker....LOL ).
Very simple card!

ReplyDeleteLisa, what a great color to use for the poppies! LOVE the simplicity of the card- it makes the color all the more vibrant.
ReplyDeleteSo, in Pittsburgh- we have had so much snow it is crazy!! I guess it's not as north as Alaska. lol..(now, I am singing...North to Alaska). I just got to FLA for a few weeks, and PA is under snow attack again! Mr. Bee has to be in NY for business and is not happy! I do wish we could send you the snow, Lisa!
What a lovely card! Very simple and elegant! Nice showcase of this color too.
ReplyDeleteLisa, I loved the way you used this stamp set. I think one layer cards are hard and you did a terrific job with it. Love it!!
