Spring Joy
Today we are featuring Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company newest set called Dogwood Blossoms. This is another versatile set to use for just about any occasion and can be colored easily with very little effort.
For my card today, I wanted to go back to what it was like as a beginning stamper. I remember feeling so intimidated by some of the other cards and projects I saw being posted out on group sites and in blog land, so I decided today to go with a very simple design. Good thing too since my migraines kicked in again. Ugh!
Ok, after stamping my image in memento tuxedo black on Mark's Finest Papers Snow Storm Smooth premium paper (excellent stuff by the way), I pulled out my prismacolor markers and did very little coloring or blending on my blossoms. The image is so simple and pretty on it's own, that I didn't feel a whole lot of color was needed. After stamping my saying underneath and adding some baby brads, I then doodled around the edges before layering. A lightest pink satin ribbon with a leaf hat pin are my only other embellishments.
Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the Senior Design Teams blogs and leave a comment for a chance to win today's set.
