Clearly Besotted Challenge 10 - 'Spring'

As promised, I am here to share my creation for the Clearly Besotted Challenge. This month the theme is 'Spring' which of course tied in perfectly when I was making Easter cards for my family anyway. I recently purchased Clearly Besotted's Spring Bloom stamp set and dies and I just love them!!!

I wanted to keep my card oh so CAS and so decided to make use of a single Daffodil (the flower I hold as the first sign of spring), and a vase. I die cut the jar, ran it through a Sizzix 'more dots' embossing folder but so that the front of the jar would be debossed. This allowed me to then use my spectrum noir markers to colour in the dots. I then finished off my jar/vase with a coat of glossy accents (a new purchase) to give it the illusion I guess of a ceramic vase.

I gave the card a little dimension by propping the vase and daffodil head up on foam pads.

The card was given a yellow layer of card to add a bit of 'Easter' colour and was finished off with an Easter sentiment stamped in light and dark green.




Materials used
Card - White (Papermill Direct), yellow from stash
Stamps &Dies - Spring blooms (Clearly Besotted), Fresh flowers (Clearly Besotted)
Ink - Jade Green &Orange (Hobbycraft), Spectrum Noir Markers, Glossy Accents.

I hope you like it. Any comments always very much appreciated.
