May already?? That means school is almost out and life is about to change up again! The best part about the first of a new month always means a great blog hop! Come see what we have for you today!
This month we wanted to focus on pretty, feminine things- maybe for Mother's Day or maybe not. I seem to constantly need birthday cards so that's the direction I took with my very pretty stone well. And I would definitely send this to a female friend or relative.
I really do love this image. Last time I used the watercolor pencils to color it. This time I used the Stampin' Blends, which are currently not order-able due to very high demand, haha, but will be available again sometime this month!
I based this card on a recent sketch from the Clean & Simple blog, but the image is pretty large and didn't quite fit the sketch. I also went with springy-summery colors...it warmed up a little too dramatically in my neck of the woods, (and then snowed again!) but I'm okay switching seasons in May, haha.
Oh, as a final note, everything you see on my blog today IS still available in the upcoming catalog! Hooray for that!
Supplies:
Stamps: Bright Wishes
Ink: Memento Black
Stampin' Blends: Dark Daffodil Delight, Dark Old Olive, Dark Night of Navy, Ivory, Bronze, Color Lifter
Paper: So Saffron, Old Olive & Thick Whisper White card stocks
