Hello Crafty Friends!

The weather in the location I am living has been very nice. It made me dream about spring when everything blooms.

To make this card. I first stamped the images from Pretty Pink Posh Crocus Flowers Stamp set with copic markers (V01,V09 and V15 for the flowers; YG23,YG17 for the stems) die cut them with the Coordinating Dies. I used Uni-ball White gel pen to draw some details on the flower petals.

I then die cut “Happy Birthday” with Pretty Pink Posh Happy Birthday Script Die out of a piece of 100 lbs white card stock. I light handed ink blended the edge of the die cut using Tim Holtz Distress oxide in Wilted Violet.

To prepare the background. I decided to go for simple layout. I used 1 inch wide washi tape masking the edge of the card base, then ink blended un masked area using Tim Holtz Distress oxide in Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade. I splattered a few water drops over ink blended area to create the cool effect when it dried.

I arranged die cuts and colored images using Multi Medium Matte and Foam tapes onto the background and added Pretty Pink Posh Sugar Plum confetti mix to have the final touch.

I will have another card coming up on Friday to show another way using this gorgeous stamp set. Stick around!
