Spring has Sprung

You're Inspiring.0318Happy Spring!  What better way to celebrate than with Daffodils!  This is an Easter card but you could easily change the sentiment on the card or even leave it blank.

It doesn’t quite feel like spring here in Denver because we actually got about 3″ of snow on Sunday evening.  We haven’t had a lot of snow this year so we were all pretty excited about the precipitation.

I had fun coloring these daffodils but it was hard deciding on what to color them with.  Should I use my new Stampin’ Blends?  Watercolor them? Use my Watercolor Pencils?  Decisions.  Decisions.  I decided on watercoloring….only because when we made this card in class I was already using both my sets of Stampin’ Blends on other cards!  Ha!  It’s nice to have choices though.

What is your favorite way to color images?  Please leave me a comment and let me know!  I think I prefer the Stampin’ Blends.  The only problem with them is that they don’t come in all of the colors.  Hopefully that will change.  🙂

You're Inspiring.1.0318Can you tell from the picture that the card front isn’t full size?  I cut my cardstock 5 1/2″ x 7 5/8″ and then scored it at 4 1/4″.  Then, after embossing the Old Olive cardstock I adhered it to the inside of the card which then shows when the card is closed.  It’s just makes the card a little unique.

Since it is Spring today I should probably take down all of my snowman decorations.  They’ve been up since January and I think the time has come to pack them up.  I have quite a few so I better get started….

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!  Think Spring!
