I hope you are having a good week....I decided to take a short break from Christmas card making and think of sunnier days :) My main reason being that I had recently got the lovely Hello Sunshine Daisies stamp set from Hero Arts and wanted to play with it!
I made 3 cards:
They are fairly self explanatory. I coloured the lovely flowers with distress markers and spritzed with water before stamping on the first two cards and so I will link up at A2Z Scrapbooking's current watercolour challenge and at Virginia's View distressing challenge.
I tried something a bit more graphic on the last card by stamping the daisies in grey archival ink and overstamping them with a big circle from a HA set. I quite like the spring pastels. I will link this card up at Addicted to Stamps current Anything Goes challenge. This is a surprisingly versatile stamp set - I don't always go for florals but there are lots of techniques that you could use with these.
I still have more Christmas cards to come but am starting to think more about cards that I will need for next year....
Thanks for stopping by!
