Hello my creative friends!!! I hope you are all doing well and have been finding a ton of inspiration all around you. Before I talk about my post though, I have to just say, my heart goes out to all those in the Midwest states who are suffering such rigid temperatures. I experienced a -60 degree (with windchill) day while in college in the 1980's, and it isn't a day I would ever choose to revisit, that's for sure. I'm praying you all stay warm and safe!!!
Now, for today's card. I thought I'd bring a little sunshine and love with Spring flowers framed with a heart. I used Power Poppy's Natural Beauties stamp set. I colored the image with Copics, and diecut a heart out of a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4" piece of cardstock. I then added bricks that I diecut using one of Tim Holtz's Mixed Media #4 Brick Thinlits. I diecut a separate piece, laid the negative over my piece of cardstock and glued the pieces inside their frames. I then removed the negative diecut piece and voila...you get a brick background. I hope that all just made sense. I also added some sweet little Clear Drops that I got from Studio Katia.
Below is a close-up so you can see the brick detail better.
That's it for my project today, But before you go, I have a Power Poppy Special to share with you.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous Tosh, this card gives me a real Spring feeling. Thank you so much for sharing and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteTosh, I so agree with you about praying for the millions that are still suffering from the cold. It's nice that you brought a lovely sunshine card with beautiful spring flowers. Heard that the groundhog says there is an early spring. Yay! Anyway, your coloring is always exquisite, and what a delightful layout with the heart and those amazing bricks -- nice texture. And I love the fishtail banners for the sentiment. Such a sweetheart of a card! Hugs! xoxo
