Spring is Blooming

Hello there,

Just thought I'd pop on my blog to share some Spring blooms with you all.

The die's used for the flowers are of course from the Crafter's Companion Die'sire Classiques collection, Delicate Flowers

The size is a landscape fold 5" x 7" and I had a relaxing session watercolouring this epic stamp

And here's the list of what I used

Die’sire Essential Delicate Flower die set

Die’sire Fancy Edge’able; Fancy Lattice

Spectrum Sparkle Pens:  Sage, Fig, Sand Dune, Biscuit, Teacup

Spectrum Aqua Markers: Sunflower, Sunset, Moss

Crafter’s Companion Thelwell Stamp

Downton Abbey Paper pad

Crafter's Companion Cream Stamping Card and Matt Black Card

Collal all Purpose glue, Collal Tacky Glie

Pearls from stash

As an added extra I have multi layered the inside of the card with matching papers.  I always think this really does smarten up the appearance of the card, but that could be just me lol

Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to hop over to the Spectrum Noir webpage to see lots of how too's and step by step posts to inspire you xxx

hugs

Sandie
