I decided to incorporate the colors and the flowers into my project! I found the Butterfly Basics stamp set on my desk (2015 Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog) and saw the flowers and leaves and decided to this image as my focal point. I needed a quick sketch to help me get going so I went to retrosketches and found a perfect sketch (#157).
My project uses crushed curry and daffodil delight for the yellows. The flowers are stamped with memento ink and watercolored with crushed curry, daffodil delight and old olive ink.
I decided to emboss the daffodil delight background using the Spring Flowers Textured embossing folder. I watercolored the flowers after embossing with crushed curry ink to highlight the flowers on the embossed image. A little white 1-1/4" jute ribbon is ticked behind the whisper white piece with a little strip of old olive 1/8" taffeta ribbon.
Fairly quick card for today. The first thing I made for a while due to all of the travel the past few weeks. I should be "grounded" for a few weeks so I hope to get more stamping in soon! I need to clean up the winter stuff and pull out the fun warm weather images!
Please stop by the other Design Team projects! They did a great job to help further inspire us all!
