Hello Spring Flowers...

Hello everyone.  As my peeps in the USA enjoy spring, flowers popping up, and warmer weather coming their way, here in Brasil we are in fall and heading into winter.  But the weather here is still nice and we even got some flowers from the garden center to plant.  

There are a few challenge blogs with either a flower or "anything goes" theme that I will be entering this into.

I am using a stamp set called Best Buds from Paper Smooches that I have owned for at least 2 years but it has never been used.  Until today!  

These are the supplies I used in making this card. 

I adhered a piece of pink cardstock to my card base. Next, I pulled out my Big shot and used a double-stitched die to cut a piece of decorative paper from Botanical by Prima Marketing (several years old). Using the same pink cardstock, I cut 4 of the Little Luxe Hello die (retired/Poppy Stamps).   

I adhered the decorative paper to the pink cardstock and the 4 "hellos" together.  I stamped one of the corner flower images from the Best Buds set and colored it with Yellow Blaze, Pink Flamingo, Margarita Green, and Key Lime BIC Intensity markers.

I adhered the flower to the card front with foam tape and the hello next to it.  Lastly, I applied glossy accents to the flower to give a shiny effect and some Firefly Stickles (Ranger) to the lighter green leaves.  And a few clear dots on the front.  

Done!  I am really loving this set and have no idea why it took me so long to put ink to it.  I have 2 or 3 more card ideas which will be a blog post tomorrow. 

I hope you enjoyed this card and hope you will stop back tomorrow.  Stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask and...until tomorrow...

Hugs from Brasil -
