Spring is in the Air is the theme for this months challenge at Stamping Sensations and the Design Team have some great mid month inspirations for you over on the main blog.
I've used an old Elusive Images stamp of Snowdrops, and for me, as soon as I see the first snowdrop poking through the soil that signifies Spring is on it's way.
I've used an inky background of Twisted Citron and Speckled Egg., stamped the image in Black Versafine, then bleached out the colour on the snowdrop heads, before colouring with Picket Fence Distress crayon. The image looked a little lost, so I used an acrylic block and drew a black line.
I added the Just a Note from the same set of stamps as this is now a pretty cover on an otherwise plain notebook.
Do check out the inspiration from the rest of the team, you won't be disappointed
Thanks for calling in, especially as I'm such bad blogger at present, but 3 days Grandma duties doesn't leave much 'free' time.
Have a great day, I'm on 'extra' duties as Laura is on a Training Day, hope to catch up over the weekend.
