Hi There! Time for some FLOWER POWER to celebrate spring!
We are finally getting over heavy pollen season here since most of the trees have leafed out and hopefully we can spend a bit more time outside now that the "golden haze" has dissipated a bit! I am so excited to announce that I will be joining the great design team over on the Sparkles Monthly Challenges Blog with his month’s theme: “Spring Is In The Air” and this Mondo Gerbera Daisy Stamp from Ellen Huston just feels like a burst of Spring to me!
I stamped the daisy onto 110# white cardstock with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and heat embossed it with clear powder. The image was colored with water colors, spattered with diluted paints, and die cut using an A2 stitched rectangle die. This panel was adhered to a top-folding A2 card base.
Using Pinkfresh Studio's "Pretty Frame Set", I die cut four frames from white cardstock, separated just the skinny inner frame and glued/stacked these together. I added another ink-blended green frame on top, which gave me a dimensional accent window and I glued it into place over the flower.
I stamped the sentiment using the MISTI and added a few sequins to finish the card. I can’t wait to get this out in the mail to spread a bit of springtime to someone in my family who lives up north - they got more snow over the weekend!

That stamp is a brilliant size you've coloured it beautifully and the frame you created draws the eye to these gorgeous colours in the centre of the flower
