hello there...

Hello everyone!  April is here and spring is in full swing!  I recently receiving the April Simon Says Stamp card kit called Hello, Darling and it is so cute! One of the things in the kit that really got me was the fun die that is a set of garden boots brimming with tulips!  For my card I used the die and colored them with my ZIG clean color markers.  I used the color combo from Color Throwdown and when you see the tulips in real life they do look purple, but darn it they look blue in my photo!  The layout is from Freshly Made Sketches.   I kept things pretty simple and just die cut some Tim Holtz distress woodgrain cardstock with a rectangle die and then adhered that to a light gray cardstock base.  The boots were popped up on the panel with foam dimensionals.   The sentiment is from the stamp set that is part of the April kit and to make it fit the sketch I did some simple masking with the sentiment.    This is also heading to the Simon Says Stamp flickr challenge of anything goes.  Can't wait to die cut the boots from patterned paper and do some paper piecing!


Thanks for stopping by and having a wonderful day!

Supplies:  Cardstock:  SU! Smoky Slate, Canson cold press watercolor, Ranger woodgrain; Stamps:  Simon Says Stamp; Dies:  Simon Says Stamp and AJVD; Watercolor medium: ZIG Clean Color markers; Ink:  VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne

Love these beautifully colored boots and tulips! If I did not know any better, I would say then were stamped and colored using the no line technique. Gorgeous card! Thanks for joining us at FMS!
