The first of the month sure seems to roll around quickly these days. LOL And, the first means it is time for a new challenge theme at The Stampsmith's Challenge Blog. The new theme for the month of April is:
SPRING COLORS
For my Spring Colors Design Team project I used a stamp from the Full Sheet Called "Thank Heaven For Little Girls 1". Here is what the whole set looks like.
Adorable, is all I can say!! Here is my card.
The Spring Sentiment is from the Botanica Full Sheet. All the papers and the ribbon are from Stampin' UP. I stamped the darling little girl with Tuxedo Black dye ink from Memento on glossy white CS. I wanted to add a touch of color to the photo stamp. So, I colored the flowers with Copic Markers. The Copics worked well since I stamped with dye ink.
A Few Fun Challenges for my Spring Girl:
Simon Says Stamp: anything goes
Fashionable Stampers: Spring is in the air
Scrap Birz: Copics and Spring
Sweet Stampin: spring
I hope you will stop over and check out all the other Design Teams projects and take the Spring Colors Challenge!! I would love to see what you come up with. I hope you are enjoying your weekend! I spent all day yesterday making cards with my stamping buddy, Sharon. We attended an event planned by our friend,
Suzanne. We made 14 super fun cards and had a great time crafting together. We also picked up some retired Stampin' Up products for our stashes. Very fun!!! Well, have a great day! Love ya.

this is a lovely card. I just love how you colored in the flowers!
ReplyDeleteLove how you 'colorized' the photo, just like a photographer did to my 1 year-old portraits in the 60s! It's so sweet with a colorful bouquet on your little girl.
