Oh, how I look forward to the colours of spring.....and the warmer weather that goes along with it! Sooooo, today another card with that spring to summer feel.
This sweet little image from Mo's DP2 was a freebie a few weeks back, and has been waiting so patiently on my desk. I've coloured with my Tombow markers and a water brush for a nice soft look, and then distress inks create the background.
I love these colours, they go so well to together....but come picture day, I hope she's an only child. I recall trying to get a group or family shot when my girls were younger....trying to get outfits that complemented each other. Of course there are many other photos, which we laugh at now, where just about every colour is in the mix! There is something to be said about black and white sometimes!
This card design is really quite simple, as I've let the image steal the show. I've used a Nestie, an MS punch and a bit of ribbon; a striped DP and some coordinating cardstock from my stash. After all was done, I then added the flower, made from a Fred She Said file, where you simply cut them out and shape, adding a gem and a bit of stickles for an accent.
Ooops, almost forgot to mention......my sentiment is a new stamp that I just received from Stampotique! I think it should get lots of use, don't you?
Thanks again for visiting and please blow some of that warmer weather my way!
