Hello Blossoms

         It was sunny and beautiful outside Today, The flowers in my garden are blossoming and that is the motivation for this card. I use another of the stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalog, which becomes available May 1^st. The name is Hello Blossoms.

I stamp the image using Bashful Blue ink on a Whisper White CS, and then I run it through the big Shot using the Square Lattice EF.I punch some flowers with the Itty Bitty Shapes Pack in 5 different colors and glue them to the image. A 1 ½” strip of Bashful Blue CS is attached at the bottom of the Whisper White CS; the strip has been punch on one side with the Scallop Edge Border. Ribbon, Bow, Butterflies, pearls for the flowers and a sentiment finish the card.

Friend

                       I have a quick creation to share with you today.

 It is a combination of circles and punch colors; DSP Springtime Vintage with Marina Mist and Pretty in Pink. I make the flowers punching out shapes with the Itty Bitty and Boho Blossoms Punch.  With the Polka Dots embossing folder I give to the card some texture.
