*Flower* Party

Hi, guys!  I am back with another card for The Greeting Farm's Farm Fresh Friday. This week we had a colour challenge.  I love the combo!


I decided to use my Limited Edition Hatter Bean because she just shouts spring, doesn't she?  This time, I tried out that no-colouring line technique using Memento Desert Sand as my ink for stamping the image.  I have to be honest.  This is really hard and I'm not sure if I like it.  I do think this technique is better for more simpler images though, because this one is kinda detailed and hard to get the normal tip into the small spaces.  But I had fun trying!


I chose to diecut the image and a mat using my Spellbinders Labels Two.  I had this fun paper leftover from some Easter projects (Echo Park) that I thought would be cute.  I had to break out my flowers cuz she's got flowers in her hat.


Then, after all that, I wondered what I should do for the sentiment.  After taking a quick look at the photo provided, it was clear to me that I had to add a banner.  The EK Success Mini Banner punch is perfect for this type of thing.  I stamped each letter in Stampin Up Pixie Pink (retired) with MFT Typewriter ABCs.  


Loved this colour combo and the photo inspiration.  Be sure to check out the next Farm Fresh Friday!

Welcome Spring

Early morning cardmaking and post coming your way!  (Well, it's here actually...lol.)  So, I woke up this morning and noticed that there was a PaperTrey Ink Blog Hop for February going on.  I guess you only have the day to join and since I didn't see it till this morning (we're ahead in Japan here), I knew I would have to skip it or get crackin!

The theme was sweet spring.  I love spring and all the things that come with it.  What a good chance to bust out my Scrambled Eggs and Sweet Spring stamp sets.  I cut out the Holiday Die and used some pretty Artnic Mint and Memento Lulu Lavendar to colour it.  I coloured in the flowers, nose and ears with my Lindy's Magical Micas in the colours below.  Thanks for the inspiration to stamp this morning.  It was easy because I had fun stuff to work with! 





Have a lovely day! 
(Fingers crossed spring is headed our way...)
