Spring Flowers Heart.........

Hello everyone: Every time I post on my blog I'm hoping that each one of you who come to visit me, are doing well, all I can say is that we must observe the guidelines of staying home, protect ourselves and keep our distances, I know it's hard but these guidelines are there for the good of everybody.

Stay healthy and safe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My teammates over at RETRO RUBBER want to inspire you to join us in our gallery with lots and lots of Spring flowers, here is the card I made for this challenge.

This stamp is from a 2018 set from Power Poppy called Always Here, a beautiful image with lots of lovely sentiments, and it happens to be on sale right now, just saying.

I stamped this flowery heart with Stazon black ink and colored it with Prismacolor pencils, I love how all of these flowers form a sweet heart and that little snail is just adorable.

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

The border is from a 2017 SU set called "Delicate Borders", the sentiment and the little snail are from the Powe Poppy set, and the tulip leaf from a 2013 Flourishes set called "Tulips for Friends".

I hope you stop by the RETRO RUBBER challenge blog and join us in the gallery, remember to use stamps that are older than a year, all our rules are at the top of the page.

I'm playing along with the following challenges.

Tulips are Red..........

Hello everyone: I hope you and your family are doing well, I know it's hard to stay indoors and observe all the guidelines that seem so restrictive, but we must remember it's for our own safety and well being and also, to help the amazing caregivers out there who are in the front lines caring for the sick, we help them by staying inside.

THE FLOWER CHALLENGE has a new one for you for the month of May and it's fun and, I think, easy to play with, MONOCHROME so you can choose any color for your images, white, black and cream are also allowed.
This is my card and I hope it inspires you to come and play along.

This is an image from an old Flourishes set called "Tulips for Friends", stamped with Versafine black ink, clear heat embossed it and colored with my still juicy Stampin' Up! Real Red and Basic Black markers. I added some Rhine Stones to the pitcher for a bit of bling.

Some twine for the bow, the sentiment is from the Tulips stamp set and was die cut with the Spellbinders "Hemstitch Squares", (nbus), pattern paper from stash.

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

The sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called "Sassy Succulents", the tulip from the "Tulips for Friends" set.

I hope you come and play along with us at THE FLOWER CHALLENGE, remember to read our rules and to make Flowers the main focus on your cards.
