Pastel Petals with Spring Flowers

Hello and welcome back! 

I'm sharing my second card with the Simon Says Stamp Spring Flowers set today. If you missed the first one using bright bold colors, you can find it HERE. 

I've decided I need to give some love to stamps that have been little used by creating a couple of cards at a time to explore their possibilities.  Today's card is soft with pastel colors, an inked background, and a POP of black accents.

I used Distress inks for the background, and Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers for coloring the images onto white card stock.

I've loved experimenting with those markers, and the amazing artist Nina-Marie Trapani has fabulous videos that have helped me. Here's the link to her video where she shares this coloring technique. You will want to try it, it's really not hard and gives a light airy look to the colors. 

The butterfly die (Bitty Butterflies Cover Plate)  and the sentiment (Banner Sentiments) are from Papertrey Ink. The sentiment was embossed in white on black card stock. Nuvo drops added small black accents to the focal point.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!
