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
