This month our Creatively Simple challenge theme is Easter as the focus on our cards! Even though Easter is late in the Spring this year, it is always nice to have ideas to get a jump start on them!
HAPPY HIBISCUS
Here in Florida, our hibiscus plants bloom almost all year long! These are the red colors on the one in my front yard! I love it against the yellow checked background.
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Real Red cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/2 layer of Garden Green cardstock was added on top.
- The 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Floral Delight Designer Paper was added on top of that.
- The three Happy Hibiscus flowers were stamped with Memento Black Ink, then brushed with Real Red, Daffodil Delight Inks and the leaves with Garden Green Ink. They were cut with the Happy Hibiscus Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Happy Easter from Throughout the Year stamp set was stamped with Garden Green Ink on a 3/4 x 3-1/4 Basic White and tucked around the flowers.
- A trio of Transparent Adhesive Backed Dots were added in the background.
I wish I could take a plant back with me to Ohio and have it do as well! OK, check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
