Spring Wishes

Here we are in the middle of March already, which means spring weather will be upon us shortly.  We had a few nice days last week, around in the upper 50's, but yesterday, it was bitterly cold.  Chance of rain/snow mix for today, but next week looks to be around 50 for Monday and Tuesday. Bring on the spring!

With that said, I have a lovely floral card to share today.  All products are from PinkFresh Studio. I used the Daisy Wreath Stencil  and matching die, as well as the A2 Diamond Plaid stencil and Stitches die (which only cuts the stitching lines).

To start I placed my white cardstock onto my Wendy Vecchi make art station, and then added the stencils as required.  This is a 4 step process.  They are so easy to use, and so easy to line up.  Grid marks on embedded right into the stencils for an A2 size, so as long as you have your cardstock within the 4 corner marks, everything lines up.  I used distress oxide inks for this card.  Once inked, I used the matching die to cut it out. I cut a piece of vellum to go behind the image so I could emboss my sentiment.  Sentiment is from PTI Spring Hills which I embossed in gold.

I cut the white piece behind the flowers using the Stitches die, and then trimmed it down.

Stenciling with the diamond plaid was done on the layer behind again with distress oxide ink.

To finish off I added  Tim Holtz rock candy glitter to the center of the flowers, and then 3 coloured pearls.

I have a few more cards in the works using some new products from PinkFresh Studio.

Thanks for stopping bye, keep well and and a happy day!
