I loved the Easter Joy set so much I just had to make another card!! The flower is perfect for paper toling!! I stamped it with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, colored it with Copics, and added a bit of sparkle with some ultrafine glitter.
I had some fun with different shapes on this card too. The Frame behind the sentiment was made with a Martha Stewart Corner punch, and the grass was made with one of my newest toys, the Martha Stewart Fringe scissors. If ya look closely, you can see some vellum butterflies resting in the grass.
I also added some Liquid Pearls around the circle frame, some gorgeous lace, and some sweet butterflies that were a gift from Julee awhile back. Thanks Julee!! Aren't they perfect with this set? Woot!!
Of course I had to use more of my Webster's pages dp. At this rate, I'll have it all used up in no time. The colors are all so soft and beautiful, and they all blend so well together. Oh, I can't forget to tell you, I stamped the "Happy Spring" sentiment with Purple Hydrangea Versamagic, and punched the bottom with a Martha Stewart border punch.
Thank you so much for stopping by!! Hope you've been enjoying the hop!! I tell ya, the Verve divas just ooze talent. I love seeing what wonderful and creative ideas they come up with each month, and am constantly saying to myself..."now why couldn't I think of that?!?!?!"
Have a fabulous weekend my stamping friends!
I hope it's filled with oodles of blessings!!
Happy Stamping!
