Spring floral bokay


I used to rubberstamp that I had in my stash. Colored it with my pencils and made it into a square card. Songs about spring....this reminds me of Cat Stevens song : Morning has broken. I’ve always loved spring...new beginnings,everything greens up ,and my favorite wildflowers start to burst into color.

Thank you gold


This is a tall skinny card
 I had this random image in my stash that I use my pencils to create fall colors. I used my chalk ink to make a little bit of a blue background. I started on yellow card stock and cut it to fit a long business size envelope. The image was printed on white. I used a darker deeper orange and one of my punches for the edging and for the shimmer glimmer I used as my Wink of Stella. Then I chose yellow gemstones to finish it off
