CWS - Spring

How I need to think of Spring, I am so very tired of all this rain and cold.

Visions of Spring bring daffodils, tulips, crocuses and bluebells ... so out come my lovely floral stamps.  Emboss and/or Faux Silk ... I couldn't decide which technique to use so I used both.

I stamped the stamps in a light brown ink onto white tissue paper which I screwed into a tight ball.  I then cut three backgrounds from a masterboard I made several weeks ago.  

Three sentiments were printed from my PC and, using fancy shaped scissors, cut them into labels.  I opened up the tissue paper, and attached it to a white background card, slightly smaller than the green background.

 The flowers, I coloured with watercolour pencils, and put them to one side to dry.   I attached the dry Faux Silk cards to the background, and then added the sentiments.

UPDATED:
I have received the following cards ...

Pretty rose on patterned paper.

Sunflowers on a flowerpot background.

Cute little mouse with a rose.

These beautifully coloured images were all contained in the most gorgeous envelope, made from heavy textured vintaged paper.

Thank you so much Helen.
