The first uses the Maya Road chipboard blooms that I have had stashed away. Honestly, I was unsure of what to do with them. In the end I colored them with Sharpie markers and added some glitter using the Two Way Glue Pen and Martha Stewart white glitter. I used green rick rack for the stems and dollar stamps for the dragonfly, leaves and sentiment. I used my new Spica glitter pen on the lettering and it is very sparkly IRL.
Here's a close up of the flowers:
This second card is for my Grandmother's birthday next week. Even though my parents divorced when I was 6, my Grandmother was always in our lives. We still keep in touch with notes and letters. This card just scream Spring to me and I love it. I might have to make more of it! I used the Color Box Chalk Ink for the flourish from Baroque Motifs, and added Primas. In the centers of the flowers are colored brads from Queen & Co. The sentiment is from a set I have but lost the name of. Ribbon is from my stash, as are the papers. This was the first time I used the Chalk Inks and I LOVE them! I just ordered a bunch from Joann's and they came today. Hopefully I'll have some time to play later.
Thanks for looking!
