Hello and happy March!
Welcome to a new theme for my Crafty Wednesday challenge hosted right here on my blog! I'm so happy you decided to check it out and of course I'd love for you to join in too! You can find last month's top picks at the end of this post, there were so many gorgeous entries!! The linky tool is also at the end as well as a quick summary of the guidelines.
This Month's Theme:
I don't know about you, but I am soooo ready for spring color and spring flowers, so this month I picked the theme of ................................
Spring Colors.
As always, the theme is optional and you may share any of your handmade cards
and crafts, and all entries will be considered for my top picks.
This Month's Sample:
This pretty floral image is another one I had purchased from
Power Poppy
last year when they had a sale. I have to admit, pansies might be one of
the hardest flowers ever to color!! I really struggled with this image!
Once again, I used my Faber Castell polychromos pencils on Neenah 80b card stock. I printed the image twice so I could fussy cut the pansies
and adhere them with foam tape. I used a
scallop circle Nestabilities die to cut
out the image and then inked the edges using
Spun Sugar Distress ink.
The patterned papers are from my stash and the label sentiments from My
Favorite Things. It's a retired set but
this set from Altenew
would make a good alternative.
