Hi Everyone,
I have a bright Easter card coming your way today made with stamps from DRS Designs. I don't think a crocus flower comes in red, but a red, yellow and green color combo always looks so fresh and happy to me, that I feel OK about my artistic license :)
Not sure how well it shows up, the my red base was stamped using the Woven Plaid stamp and red ink, for a tone on tone look. I used the Easy Dot background to make my custom paper. I LOVE this stamp! It's not new to the DRS catalog, but it's totally one of my favorites. It's so forgiving and you can't make a mistake when creating your custom paper. There's no lining anything up, the dots are random and it works. Every. Time.
The middle strip was made with the Open Plaid stamped in green and those Spring Crocus in the Tub are just so sweet! And like I do many times, I stamped and cut apart the One Line Happy Easter sentiment to make it fit my card.
Thanks for peeking in here. Hopefully these types of flowers will be appearing in our yards very soon!
