I have been trying to make a card for the Stamping Around challenge for a week and finally got some inspiration last night. Here's the challenge inspiration:
It reminds me of a perfect Spring day.
Here's my Perfect Spring Day:
I don't usually make cards with scenes but what can I say, I was inspired! I just got the cute Hero Arts bicycle and I had to ink it up. The peachy layered flowers are punched, inked and then stitched on with crochet thread using a golden colored bead in the center. Some Hero Arts gems and a light wash of orange Stickles highlight the flowers in the basket. The tree is paper-pieced and the leaves are painted with Smooch.
Here's a close up of the detail:
Have a blessed day,
nancy
Such a sweet card Nancy and fits the challenge perfectly, love the basket full of gem flowers.
