Paper Artsy Flowers! Too Soon?
Ok, I may be ahead of the game here… or it’s wishful thinking that Spring will come early and the weather will finally warm up… I just had to brighten my day with some flowers!!!
I adore this Paper Artsy cling set, it’s called Smell the Flowers designed by Jo Firth-Young. I Love the whimsical look! This set offers a variety of images that you can use in different configurations on your cards.
I used Distress inks and markers to do some watercoloring by using the Tim Holtz Detailer Water Brush. And for a bit of sparkle, I added just a touch of Wink of Stella Clear brush marker to my flowers.
I’ve shot a video of the process for this card, hope you enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by today, hope I’ve brightened your day.

Wow…this is so fresh and clean…Spring is a loooooong way away where I live but this certainly does make me feel like it’s just around the corner. Love your card!
The distress inks work beautifully on this card, love the layering.. Yes I am also waiting for some sign of spring, its snowing right now.
Spring can’t come soon enough for me. I sure love this sketchy card!

Love the card! The stamps are such a different style than what is out there right now. It is refreshing! It is never too early for spring cards!
Love this whimsical, artsy card!!!
Love the flowers. The layering really makes them pop. thanks for the video.
I like this stamp set. Looks different. Might be useful for some scrap pages of my boys. I like when flowers look a little edgy and not to cutesy
With this cold spell, I’m wishing it was spring too!
I love the card. The stamp is very unique. Thanks for sharing!
I love these videos. This is the cutest card. I learned to move the flowers around to stamp, how to watercolor by putting the ink on the surface and using a waterbrush and how to cut up the stamps to use the greetings. It’s also nice to learn how to use the products and what they are for. Thanks, thanks and thanks again.
beautiful card, I think flowers always brighten a day, you brightened mine with this card!
We could all use a breath of spring right now. Love these fun flowers!
Great card & video Shari. I love the whimsical look of the flowers. Theresa x

It’s never too soon for spring. They closed down my college campus today because it’s just too cold outside. I need images of flowers right about now.
