Full Bloom Christmas

It’s cloudy and grey here (again) after a week of bright sunshine and glorious clear skies but at least we still have more light, which is the best part of Spring! I love Spring.
Two more cards made using Versamark Resist, using different colours and slightly different designs. I’d forgotten how much I love glossy card, but I must reink my Stazon – again! I used Memories Black on yesterday’s but it doesn’t dry quite as crisply as Stazon.
I love this colour combination but haven’t used it for a while. It’s Watermelon and Terracotta, with some rust and a bit of Sunshine Yellow (Adirondack). The only problem with Adirondacks is that they do fade over time. Back to two of my favourite themes – flowers and birds. I really love this Unity flower plate and use it often, in so many different ways. I’ve also used my favourite flutterby and postmark stamps on this, with a great background mesh stamp I’ve had since I started stamping a LONG time ago – I think it was from Stamporium.
I have no idea where ‘the rite of spring’ comes from but I love this stamp. Love these birds from Artistic Outpost and I sneaked a leaf or two in. [Just realised the ‘rite of spring’ stamp is also from Artistic Outpost!]
