A Spring Hello!

I'm so excited for warmer weather, colorful flowers and Spring break vacation!! I pulled out an older irresistible chipboard flower and inked it up to coordinate with some fun new Chantilly papers and fabric! My goal was to use the Freshly Made Sketch to create a fun and bright card! Now that's a "happy" hello!

 

Chantilly & Dotty papers, pleated fabric and a chevron stamped tag....so many of my favorite things!!

Celebrate the Unexpected

Today I'd like to share a card created for the Mojo Monday sketch. I love random stamping and have not done any in a while. I wanted to start with a script background stamp and knew I wanted to add a flower. I looked through all my flowers and just didn't care for any of my choices. So I thought out of the box and used a scalloped stamp to create a flower! Check it out~

I used the Enjoy stamp set for my flower creation.

First I placed the stamp on my block upside down. I stamped the solid shape in sky blue. Then I turned my stamp over on the block the correct way. Before stamping it in Lagoon I created a mask for the center with a post-it-note to block the "freshly baked" sentiment.

For the center I used a little flower from the Family Love stamp. I used this stamp in the same manner as the other creating a solid base in Sweet Leaf and then the flower in Topiary green.

Can't find the perfect stamp? Create your own!! {Ahhh, the beauty of Acrylix stamps!}

"Springy" Easter Challenge at Heart 2 Heart

Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog wants to see your Easter/Spring creations this week! Hard to believe that Easter is almost here. This year is moving right along!! My card features the adorable Peeps stamp. How clever is that sentiment?! I also love these cool springs that Close To My Heart carries in their Spring Idea Book. It gives the card great dimension, but stays nice and flat in the envelope for mailing.

All of the products I used to make this card is Close To My Heart.

Be sure to visit the Heart 2 Heart Blog this week to be inspired and to play along!
