With the spring weather that we have been enjoying over the past few weeks it seemed like a good idea to join in with the 8th challenge from Uniko Studio - Hello Spring. The colours that Bev has chosen are just gorgeous. Here is the first card that I made:
I watercoloured some paper with Tumbled Glass and Shabby Shutters distress inks and white embossed the wonderful chrysanthemum stamps before die cutting them. I shaded round the flowers with some ink to add depth and added a border with some circle stamps from Round in Circles - they are very versatile.
I liked the fresh blues and greens so much that I made a second card using the Bright Butterflies set:
I added some Wink of Stella to the butterflies for a bit of extra glimmer!
As there are 3 butterflies on this card I can enter it in to this week's Less is More Challenge to use three things along with Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge to use glitter.
I hope you like them and that you are seeing a bit of spring wherever you are :)
By for now, Sarah x
