Happy Spring to all my stamping friends! Yea...it's finally here! Now let's pray the weather catches up to the calendar and it starts feeling like spring!
I have two cards to share with you today!
Creative Nugget: I put my Copic Markers away for this one and thought I'd try my hand at watercoloring. The zinnias were masked and stamped in a variety of dye based inks and watercolored with reinkers. The small zinnia was cut with the Zinnia & Leaves Dies that match the Zinnia stamp set by Our Daily Bread Designs. A panel of Blooming Garden designer paper also by ODBD was stitched down the right side to follow yesterday's Sketch Challenge on Splitcoaststampers. This panel was attached to a matching piece of DP and mounted on a Vintage Cream card base. The quote is from the new Quote Collection 4 stamp set just released for ODBD 6th Anniversary. A bow was added along with several buttons which were for the "Button It Up" challenge today on Splitcoaststampers. Even though there are only five buttons, there really are six zinnias tucked in there to represent ODBD 6th Year Anniversary!
Creative Nugget: The background was sponged on this one and the Zinnias overstamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. The Fence Die, sentiment, and six little ladies were added to finish the card.
Here are the supplies used that can be found at the
This card will be entered into the following challenges:
SC480 - Splitcoaststampers

Both cards are exceptionally beautiful. You successfully used the same stamp and end up with 2 distinct and gorgeous results. Love the color combo of the first card. very tropical! We are so blessed with your wonderful project and hope you join us again in this week's Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. I want to share this verse with you in Luke 1:37 which says, "For no word from God will ever fail." God bless, always!
