This uses 3 stamps that are now discontinued or hard to find: Rubber Stampede's Bleeding Heart, #A2300H, the spring version in this Hero Arts Seasonal Memories set, #E3373, and the sentiment from The Craft's Meow Easter Greetings set. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers, overstamped the spring memories text in a dull green, then sponged around the edges with tumbled glass. This was framed out in a BoBunny dot cardstock, adding a sweet pink gingham bow and some clear sequins from a recent Simon card kit - irl, they are irridescent and give a lovely dewy sparkle, with hints of pale pink and blue. My card base is a piece of Simon's Surf Blue cardstock, rapidly becoming a go-to for me this season.
For those of you who've never seen a bleeding heart plant, here's a picture from one of my Pinterest boards:
Isn't Mother Nature amazing?
Happy Spring, everyone!

Beautiful! Love that Bleeding Hearts stamp (and photo). There's a white Bleeding Hearts that I've been coveting too. Spring is definitely here but we're not out of the woods yet - big snow came in April last year! Lovely to 'speak' to you! xx
