An Oldie and A Favorite


Hello! That's the message that my card with spring flowers is sending.  I used a very old stamp dated 1999- one of my first PSX stamps and also one of my very favorites.  I stamped the Hydrangeas with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on white cardstock and colored with Copics and a white pencil for highlights. While looking for a background I came across a forgotten bag of papers and ribbon from Club Scrap, which I think was a long ago garage sale buy. Anyway the heavy weight and textured papers, one a pattern of greens and purples and one a solid green, were perfect to go with my Hydrangeas.  Added 2 of the grosgrain ribbons to the image before attaching to the patterned paper and the solid card base. Finished with the die cut word Hello stamped on clear vellum with DOI Wilted Violet.  The stamp and die are by Gina K Designs.  I was excited to discover the forgotten stash of papers and ribbons.
