It's time for a Tuesday inspiration from the STAMPlorations inspiration team where the team members feature stamps from one of our talented stamp designers.
Today we're using Shirley's The Bees Knees stamps. All non-retiring products in the store are 10% off automatically from now through April (with an extra 20% off when you use my discount code STAMPGIRLMARIA).
Two things inspired today's card - our March challenge theme at STAMPlorations which is All about Spring and Faith and some Copic-colored flowers I discovered in my craft room cleanup! I remember stamping them onto a sheet of cardstock and coloring them with the very first bunch of Copic markers I ever bought. I was at my folks' house in MI.
Popped up the fussy cut blooms over a heat embossed vase and sentiment. An enamel heart finished it off. And that lovely graphic B/W card base.

ReplyDeleteDanke, dass du diese Woche bei den Daring Cardmakers mitgemacht hast.

ReplyDeleteHello Maria: You are probably right, that day I was trying to catch up with my comments on the entries and that is why I got the word verification thingy.
ReplyDeleteThank you for alerting me to that possibility.
Your card is gorgeous, I pinned it already.
Hugs.
Just LOVE that you have used up some really old stuff that you randomly found. I love that pop of colour on the black and white. You wouldn't think you'd stamped and coloured the flowers in a long time ago - they were meant for this card. xx
ReplyDeleteWell Maria, this is one striking creation! I love those flowers, and if that was your first go at using Copics, you started out as an expert! Great coloring!! I love the zigzag base and the black panel on top. The white embossing boldly brings out your wonderful design! Thanks for shaing this beautiy with us at Time Out!!
ReplyDeleteMaria, what a beautiful creation, I just love bright as you know. This card totally nails it bright and happy and so beautiful to look at. Perfect creation.
