Time for Spring Flowers

Josette here with another Tuesday inspiration.  It is just February but I am so ready for spring.  Down here in Texas the weather has warmed to a wonderful 76+, the sun is out and with all the recent rain the grass is green.  I am sure spring is near.  So on that note, how about some Spring Flowers.

Don't you just love that cabbage rose stamp: it is available here at the Sweet Stamp Store.

If you follow my Blog you know how much I love backgrounds.  I have boxes of them  So I pulled one out.  This one was made by spraying ink onto a white card.  I did a whole series of backgrounds using a color wheel.  These a yellow green,  true orange and a bright yellow.  I am unsure of the brand of ink but it was very glittery.

I first stamped the flower in the corner, this was more for a "target, then masked it off and stamped the remains images in Versamark and heat set with clear embossing powder.

The flower was stamped on a white cardstock with Momento ink and colored with Copic Markers.  After coloring I cut out the image and mounted it on 3D squares.
After a dry run placement before permanetly adhering, it just didn't seem quite right.  So I located a  doily, stamped a circle with a sentiment,  cut everything down and placed it under the flower.  Better.  The flower ended up lower than anticipated, but the doily covered it up.  Lastly I added a bow that was made from seam tape and colored with a Copic Marker that had been used to color in the leaves.    This was mounted on an A2 white card.
I think it is stunning and very simple to complete.  A good use of a background.  What do you think?
Until next week,
Happy Crafting,
Josette
