Spring is coming!

This beautiful spring mood board for the Double D Challenges inspired me to use some new lilac dies I recently acquired from The Greetery! The shades of purple in the photo especially jumped out at me. I chose a lattice die for the background and cut it from Fine Linen paper from PTI. I splattered it with white Gouache paint. The sentiment was stamped using Villainous Potion distress ink (it looks black in the photo). I found a deep purple scrap in my stash and die cut a border.

I have a long list of friends and family with birthdays in the spring, so that prompted me to use the sentiment. I used olive green and purple distress markers to "dot" the centers of some of the flowers.

STAMPS: Birthday Blooms (The Greetery).

INK: Milled Lavender, Shaded Lilac, Villainous Potion, Peeled Paint, Rustic Wilderness, Forest Moss, Crushed Olive, Antique Linen distress inks.

PAPER: Stampers Select White, Fine Linen (Papertrey Ink); Dark purple (unknown source).

Thanks so much for stopping by! It's a glorious sunny spring day here in VA with temps to go up in the 70's! Yippee!   ~Wanda
