No sunshine here for several days, perfect timing for a spring themed flower-y card here on my blog :-)
This card almost didn't happen, not sure where the time went, but this month seems to be flying by, and I almost didn't get a card done for our Midway reminder at Penny Black and More. Although we aren't required to make a "reminder" card, I definitely wanted to create something. I have several brand new Penny Black stamps here, and this one was one of my must haves!
It wasn't easy to photograph the card due to the size, so I tried using copic markers as a prop. The lighting wasn't ideal either. It was dark when I took the photos and only used my daylight lamp which shined too much light onto the top of the card... I need a bigger daylight lamp :-)
Below is a smaller version of the card, in case some of you have trouble viewing the large photo.

This is a large stamp, perfect for tall cards. My finished card measures around 7.25 x 4.5 inches.
Image was colored with copic markers and I applied stickles glitter to the flower centers and butterflies. Card is kept CAS, I just added a couple strips of designer paper and some machine sewing along the edges. Our challenge theme is "Anything Goes with a Stamp and a Die" so I added my sentiment on a die cut tag ( using Whimsy Stamps Stitched Tag Dies set) and also added a die cut to the top corner (also from Whimsy Stamps - Corner Dies Set) to cover up a crooked stitch in the corner :-)
I thought the card needed something else next to the vase, so I stamped the sentiment "Sunny Wishes" and a butterfly, which are both part of this beautiful set.
This is what the complete set looks like.
I currently have one more left HERE in my Etsy shop for US shipping.

Love what you have done with this stamp Ellie, such a pretty card with the soft lilacs.
I ordered my new release stamps but missed this one, but I have noticed recently that some of the newer stamps are quite large.
