Grab your favourite drink..sit back and hop along to see all the Gorgeous Inkspiration we have planned for you!!

Easter or Spring is this month's theme!

Spring to me is all about the sun shining for days at time, birds chirping happily in the mornings, and watching the world turn green and my gardens come to life.  And as we prepare  for Spring the grocery stores fill up with all the spring flowers, hyacinth, tulips, easter lilies and hydrangea's. The Hydrangea Haven Suite recently arrived in a brown box delivery and I can't believe I was not going to buy it!! I have been having so Much Fun!! If you check out my Facebook live this week I made 4 cards.  The paper is gorgeous and so is the Stamp set and dies.  So enough blabbering..here is what I made for you today.

As I was watercoloring I thought I would put a soft wash of soft seafood over one of the die cuts to imitate a white hydrangea.  Have you ever noticed the hint of green?  To add little dimension I also used a sponge dauber to add more colour.  

The White layer is 4 1/8 x 5 3/8" and I stamped a hydrangea in the top left corner and bottom right corner.  The horizontal piece is die cut using the ornate frames dies and I put a piece of Soft Seafoam cardstock.  The center piece is a scalloped rectangle of soft seafoam and a rectangle cut to fit so that I could emboss it with the Parisan Embossing folder.  The stem and leaves have been sponge daubered with soft seafoam ink.  The bow is crinkled white seam binding.  I wrapped it twice around the band and then I coloured 2 extra piece of ribbon with a mint macaron blender pen..one is light and the other is dark and then I added polka dot tulle ribbon.  The sentiment is thank you and it is on a punched out circle, the sun was shining so bright when I took this photo it is hard to see!! Welcome Spring!!

I hope you enjoyed my card today and it has inspired you to stamp and create.
