Crocus


 Good morning, a little reminder of our March challenge at Stamping Sensations. The theme for anyone who wishes to use it is Spring but it's optional- you can enter with anything Goes as long as there is a stamped element on the front of your card/project. Full details of how to join in as well as details of the prizes on offer can be seen at Stamping Sensations Challenges- there are also some wonderful inspiration cards from the design team, so it's well worth popping over to have look.

My card is made using a lovey Crocus stamp from Aall and Create,  I coloured it with water colour pens, it had to be yellow to match the ones in my front garden which were in glorious full bloom at the time of making the card, sadly most of them have finished now but they really did brighten my day every time I went past. The background is blended using Distress and Elements Inks, 2 different stencils and a splash of water. 

I'm looking forward to the lovely spring weather forecast for the rest of the week, let's hope we all get to enjoy it!

Thanks for visiting

Chris

Beautiful Crocus isn't it Chris, the background has been done so subtly so as to be evident but not distract from the focal bloom.

Beautiful card Chris, gorgeous background and the Tulip is so pretty.
We have had clear skies all blue and sunny but its freezing, not complaining though, its cheery. xx
