COLORING DOWN THE LINES!

Hello hoppers!!! It's time for 

Coloring Down the Lines!!!

We are so happy to be hopping into spring!!!

Welcome to the visitors from Amanda's blog! Usually you are coming here from Helen's blog, but she is having technical difficulties this week!  On to Sandy's blog from here! Liz has such a busy life right now!

So here's this week's card:

Here's the inspiration photo:

Here are the Stampin' Up! colors:

I wanted a simple, fun spring card this week. I just love how this turned out! I've been featuring a ton from the Occasions & Sale-a-Bration Catalogs, but I don't want you to forget the Annual Catalog! This stamp set is 

Butterfly Basics.  There are framelits, punches & stuff to go with it, but I love the simplicity of this card!!!

It's very simple! Just stamp and watercolor with the Aqua Painter!  For a little extra grounding, I watercolored around the flower with the Soft Sky. This is my new favorite technique. It really brings out the image!!!

Look carefully! You'll see a "Wink" of "Stella"!! Ya, I pretty much use it on every card I make!!!!! They had better continue this into the new  

Annual Catalog! If not I'm buying up a case of it before hand!!!!!!

That sentiment is my fave right now! It's from Suite Sayings which IS in the Occasions Catalog! That is a "suite" little stamp set (see what I did there?!)! Lots of great sentiments for just about any occasion!

So hop along now! Until next week!!!

Happy Stampin'!
