Welcome Spring - Canada Inks Up Blog Hop!

Today’s card showcases one of my favourite things about Spring…dandelions! I know dandelions are not what you want in your lawn (me either) but I love them!  I love the bright happy yellow clusters of flowers and when they go to seed, all those beautiful little puffy seedlings blow here and there in the wind! 

We always try to catch one of the seed puffs because we were told as children, if you could catch one you can make a wish then let it fly off again taking your wish with it!  Pure magic! 

Today I’m joining the Canada Inks Up Blog Hop and we’re all sharing a card for Spring. Mine is a shabby chic vintage card featuring a fluffy dandelion.

The art panel is stamped randomly with images from Garden Wishes, the script from Ranunculus Romance and the vine from Very Versailles. The colours are Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Crumb Cake inks.  I made the dandelion by layering the 3 flower dies in that set, first cutting into each petal, then sponging and shaping with a stylus to make them curl. 

I hope you like my vintage card!  Thanks for stopping by and sharing your time with me! 💕

I love to finish the inside of my envelope with a stamped liner! So easy and so pretty! 

Here’s a close up of my dandelion layers. 

I cut 3 snips into each petal to give my dandelion some interest!
