Among The Flowers

Good morning folks and wishing you all a very Happy Easter. Hard to believe that Good Friday is here. We have a lovely sunny day too although very chilly.
I have a rather bright Spring like card to share with you today in a favourite colour combination of mine.

I really love this sweet image by La Blanche and stamped her on watercolour paper with Archival Coffee ink. I then coloured her with watercolour pencils and used a damp brush to blend the colours. I added a little stamping with Versamark ink and a flourish design to add texture.
I made a mat for the image by stamping a border design round the edges of a piece of watercolour paper with Memento ink and then blended the colour with a damp brush.
The green damask paper was made as part of the online class I recently won and uses a Chocolate Baroque background stamp.
The pink paper was embossed with the Cuttlebug Polka Dots folder and inked with Memento Lilac Posies. I then swiped the ink pad over the top to deepen the colour on the dots.
I added a floral border made with a Martha Stewart double edge punch and a scrap of inked and stamped paper from my bits box. The butterfly (B Line Designs) was stamped with the coffee ink and inked with the lilac ink and Crushed Olive Distress ink.  The sentiment is by Polka Doodles from the new Sugarplum Daisy CD.
