Spring

The weather is starting to warm up, and I thought it would be fun to make a home decor project that would welcome SPRING.

I used my Fairy Girl Pure Innocence for the main image.  I just love her.  SO sweet.  She is stamped on watercolor paper (SU) with PTI black ink and embossed in clear.  I used SU reinkers and an empty aquapainter to watercolor her (I water down the ink in a palette instead of filling my water brush). 

The word Spring, was die-cut using my SU Sizzix alphabet.  I used heavy weight kraft chipboard and adhered Crate patterned paper to it using Xyron before I die cut the letters to make it easier and more polished.

I die cut the flowers using the same patterned paper and a SU Sizzix flower die.  I laid them all out, alternating colors and then adhered them together with a large brad.  Then, I fluffed each one, by molding the petals with my fingers.
