Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Spring Flowers

Hello and good morning everyone ---

Here in the UK it's starting to look a lot like spring ---- yay!! So at Sweet Stampin' our timely theme this week is' 'Spring Flowers'. 

My card this week is all about new things - new dies to make my flowers (which I love) and a new stamp from a company that is also new to me called Crafty Sentiment Designs. CSD's designs are beautifully drawn and very sweet, they're also fab to colour. I especially love this little sweetie, isn't she pretty. I coloured her with my Inktense pencils on watercolour card and added a little glitter to her garland of flowers.

Here's What I did

I used an A5 scalloped card base on which I matted and layered some pink card and 2 pretty patterned papers. I stamped the girl onto watercolour CS and die cut it with a stitched edge rectangle die. The image was coloured using Inktense pencils (watercolour pencils) and added to a blue card mat.

The completed topper was then attached to a long strip of pink card with a die cut scalloped edge. I wrapped a piece of ribbon around the edge, and attached it to the card base using foam tape to give it more dimension. To finish off I added a couple of die cut flowers and leaves, along with a touch of glitter on the girl's flower garland.

Here's everything I used:
