Celebrating With You

Happy Spring!!  Finally, finally Spring is here!  Although the weather isn't as warm as it's supposed to be, I'll take it.  We all had a rough winter and need to have some nice, warm, snow-free days!

This set doesn't belong to me, I used this set the other day at my weekly craft group.  It's called Delightful Dahlia Additions, and when stamped in three layers, gives a lot of depth to the flowers.

I stamped the flowers on white cardstock using three different colors of purple ink, adding the flower center in dark purple.  I stamped the leaves in green ink, but after I stamped them, I didn't like the way it looked, so I fussy cut the flowers.  I started over by adhering the cut flowers to white cardstock, placing the largest flower on foam tape.  I stamped smaller leaves this time in green ink and was much happier with the way it looked.

The sentiment is stamped in a medium purple ink.  I adhered the card to a Winter Wisteria card base with rounded corners.  To complete the card, I tied Honeydew twine around the spine and added glitter to the flowers.
