May Challenge at Craft A Scene

     Good Morning!  This month, at Craft A Scene, the challenge is "Spring Flowers".  I though about this one until mid month, and decided to use an old PSX stamp from my collection.  It has Wisteria, Iris, Tulips, Jonquils, Forget-Me-Not's, and a flowering Dogwood or Cherry! The # is K-2151.  I think that covered most of the flowers in my garden.

     I started with a bright coral card stock for the base.  Layers of Out of Print, and Indie Bloom, from Basic Grey were added.  My image was stamped with Versafine Ink, and clear embossed.  Copic Markers were used for coloring.  I then cut out the image with a Labels Twenty Three die, from Spellbinders. The sentiment is from an Impression Obsession clear set, called Spring Seals.  I punched it out with an SU! scalloped circle punch.  Peach/Coral ric-rac was added, and topped off with pearls.

     It is so funny, but back in the day, I fell in love with so many stamps, would buy them and stick them in the drawer.  That was because I had no clue how to even begin coloring them.  If it were not for our blogging friends, new products, and people who are willing to teach us,  I think that many of these beautiful images would remain tucked away.  Thanks for the inspiration you share with me, each and every day!
