DCBD #171

I work with a wonderful group of ladies. This is the Easter card I had made for each of them. I wanted something beautiful and not so cutesy. All products used are from Stampin' Up! I used the Shades of Spring DSP for the pattern paper. I really like the polka dot paper mixed with pattern paper, so that is why I selected those two sides of the double sided paper. I used the Abundant hope stamp set. I stamped the flowers with basic brown, so when I 'color'ed them, the inks wouldn't bleed. I used my blender pen with so saffron and more mustard for the flower heads. I used certainly celery and old olive for the greenery. I wanted to keep the centers of the flowers white, but with a little pizazz. So, I used the white shimmer paint to 'color' the centers. I used certainly celery satin ribbon. I thought the old olive was just too much.
