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.

  3. oh what I wouldn’t give to see a crocus right now. If we can’t see the real thing – at least the flowers on your card are gorgeous. I LOVE what you did with the sentiment!

  4. Very cool stamp set. Spring seems a looooong way off for us here on Georgian Bay in the snow belt of Ontario. Perhaps making some bright spring themed cards will boost my spirit. Thanks for the inspiration, Shari – gorgeous card!

  5. I’m getting up this morning to 3 inches of snow on top of 2 inches of ice and 16°! So, no, it’s not too soon for flowers! The card is beautiful!
