Good morning crafty friends! Are you enjoying your spring? Everything is bursting with color here in north Florida. The azaleas are blooming all around with shades of pink, purple and white. We’ve been busy over the past month – planting a vegetable garden (tomatoes, peppers, lettuce and onions). We’ve also added a new weeping plum tree and two hydrangea bushes. I am looking forward to watching everything grow.
Here are two springtime cards using a lovely Petunia stamp from Creative Visions (found here) – this red rubber image comes in two different sizes.
On this first card I embossed the image in white and sprayed colorwash inks to get a bright watercolor effect. The butterfly punch is from Martha Stewart. The stitching on the white panel was done on my silhouette machine.
On the second card I take the same image and color it with prisma pencils and sponged with memento ink for the background. The background paper is basic grey and the ribbon is from May Arts.
