May Calendar: “Bloomin’ with Flowers”…

For May of course I did May Flowers. Again I ripped some scraps of DSP to make dirt and grass. I think ripped paper adds a certain dimension.

RECIPE:

Stamp Sets:          Bloomin’ with Love

                                    Dear Friend

Ink:                           Basic Black

Paper:                     Whisper White (8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″) and ( 7″ x 2-1/4″)

                                    Almost Amethyst ( 8″ x 8″)

                                    So Saffron scraps for photo corners

                                    Chocolate Chip and Certainly Celery DSP scraps

Accessories:        Brads, Water-Color Pencils, Photo Corner Punch

HERE’S WHAT I DID:

Using the Dear Friend flowers I stamped them in Basic Black to either side of the Whisper White 7″ x 2-1/4″ strip of card stock. In the middle I stamped in Basic Black the wheelbarrow from Bloomin’ with Love and added flowers inside of it With Watercolor Pencils I colored everything in. then I ripped some Chocolate Chip and Certainly Celery DSP to resemble dirt and grass and adhered it to the bottom. I placed a brad on the wheel of the wheelbarrow. I punched out four sets of the Photo Corners in So Saffron so all the corners were the same size. Then I assembled all the pieces as shown, colored in the sky and stamped the flower pot on, May 10, “Mother’s Day.”
