Today I am sharing a set of note cards that I made following inspiration from Gundi at the beginning of March. I saw her set of gorgeous spring flowers and thought, I have those digi stamps by Uniko, I am going to use them, and here you are:
I printed the images with a faint line onto hot pressed watercolour paper and painted them with my Zig clean colour real brush pens.
After trimming the image I used a black alcohol marker to frame them and the mounted them onto adorable scorable coated card.
Not sure why I didn't watermark a separate picture of the daffodil, but I think there are enough pictures on this post.
Finally after printing the stamp onto a paper card insert I placed each card in a gello bag, tied them with ribbon and gave them to my sister in law for her birthday. She always gets a set of note cards from me as she always expresses her appreciation of my cards - I do hope she is not just being polite!
I am sharing these at:
Uniko #64 - Signs of Spring

PS. Those digi stamps are free too, thanks Bev.
Supplies:
Cardstock: hot pressed watercolour paper; Adorable scorable coated card
Ink: Zig clean colour watercolour pens
Stamps: Uniko free digi stamps; Concord & 9th lace Leaf stamp set

Oh, wow!! Loving all the flowers here, and you've done a spectacular job coloring them as well! Love how you've paired the flowers with the same colored cardstock as well. I'm sure your SIL will love them!
Beautiful set of cards Hilary I love your background colouring really makes the flowers pop!
Your post could easily be called 'Essence of Spring' Hilary as the pretty collection really do sum up the beauty of the season. And then finished off and presented with the ribbon makes them such a lovely gift for your SIL, sure she she was delighted with them.

These note cards are gorgeous, Hilary, and I feel sure that your SIL loves them! You have done an awesome job of coloring these little beauties!
What a great idea to make a set from the free digis. I bet your SiL loved them.
Thanks for joining us at Uniko. :
Hilary, these are so beautiful! Of course she loves them! What a wonderful gift!
Gorgeous coloring btw - I seldom get those Zigs to perform for me. Another case of right medium, wrong paper, probably! They are in the perfect hands here, I see!
