Have you ever started a card and think, 'meh' it's okay but it's nothing to write home about, but when you finally finish adding the details you're like 'Wowzers'??  This card was like that.  I thought it was just okay but when I finished adding the sequins and held it at arms length I thought 'Not too shabby if I say so myself,' lol.

Inspired Stamps Spring Card

Hello and welcome here!  Spring is right around the corner and the Inspired Stamps DT are inspiring you with Spring cards today.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

The flower and sentiment are from the Flowers Value Pack stamp set.  I used the same greenery die I used last time...it's new, can you tell, lol...and cut put it against an embossed background.  For the flower I used Distress Inks and my mat, I added ink to my mat and then spritzed with water and then dipped my paper into it.  I dried it and then stamped the flower and cut it out.  I added a little more colour to the center of the flower to finish it off.

Inside:

For the inside I used Perfect Sentiments and then stamped the same flower inside that I had used on the outside.

Recipe:  Inspired Stamps SS-Flowers Value Pack & Perfect Sentiments, Bazzill CS-Mono Pear, CTMH CS-White Daisy, CTMH Ink-Black, Distress Inks-Wilted Violet, Poppystamps Hampstead Oval Frame, Martha Stewart Scroll Lace Border Punch, Foam Squares, Viva Decor Pearl Pen Ice.
