Is It Spring Yet???

 It's warming up in these parts, but no color to see yet, so I had a spring play with some older The Greetery goodies, and made 2 cards.

supplies: white, kraft, and Sunshine card, The Greetery Flower Market Bouquet multi-step stamp set and matching die, Fit to be Tied die, Newton's Nook Woodland Spring sentiment, Sunny Studio Frilly Frame Lattice die

I'm ashamed to say I only used this bouquet stamp and die set once last year, so this time I spent a fun afternoon and ended up with 2 cards.  This time I put it into a watering can and embossed a background for it.  The pinky tulips are made using the new Saltwater Taffy oxide ink as my base layer.

supplies: white and coral cream card, The Greetery Flower Market Bouquet stamps and matching die, Sprinkled with Kindness stamps and die, Simon's Pinpoint Starlets embossing folder, old PTI label die and sentiment from Friendship Jar Spring Filler stamps, natural twine to attach little label

I used a variety of inks for these cards: oxides, Altenew mini cubes, a Hero Arts dark red and a brand new Simon green called Dublin.  I am always astounded at how well these stamps layer; my tip for you this time around is that if you have the matching die for these multi-step stamp sets, start the process by cutting out the overall shape, and then put it into your misty, along with it's negative and use the die to line up the stamps.

Hope spring is creeping in to your little part of the world - enjoy!
