Friends with Flair and Flowers

Happy Friday! And for Canadian friends, happy Victoria Day weekend, our unofficial kickoff to summer. It's Friday, it's Unity's weekly Friends with Flair blog hop, and I think it's an end to an extended period of missing mojo. ;)  



What better way to kickstart some creativity than a new Unity {be inspired} challenge? I used both the colour palette and the sketch to create this little spring hello card. It also gave me a chance to use one of my newer Unity sets, Tulips and Daisies. I bought it during a weekend sale, of course, and so far I'm assiduously avoiding the current AMAZING sale. I'm also linking to this week's Simon Says Stamp challenge, Flower Power, and to CASology's challenge cue, "bloom". 




          

Supplies: white & Bazzill Basics tan textured cardstock, watercolour paper, Pink Paislee Spring Jubilee & Crate Paper On Trend patterned papers, Unity Tulips and Daisies & (?) hello stamps, Memories black ink, watercolour pencils, Marvy-Uchida corner-rounder punch, pop-dot tape

Pin It Now!
