You're Lovely for Easter

I do love a one layer card so I enjoyed coming up with one for the One Layer Anything Goes challenge at Less is More today. Come and see:

I decided to use one of Stampin' Up's free Sale-a-bration sets, called You're Lovely, with a bit of masking. The label stamp was stamped first and I used the negative mask to cover the outside area so that I could sponge Soft Sky ink inside - I'm a big fan of this colour too Chrissie! The daffodils were coloured with markers next and the label was then covered with the positive mask enabling me to stamp the row of flowers repeatedly to form a background.

I spent quite a lot of time on the details of this card - giving the label and flowers a little shadow and colouring the background flowers with a blender pen and ink; using a stamp-a-majig to adjust the sentiment (which normally has the words side by side); and adding the gems.

The You're Lovely stamp set is just one of many Sale-a-brations gifts that you can choose for free with any order of £45. Isn't it gorgeous?! Click here to see all the other Sale-a-bration goodies.

I'm a bit early for Easter aren't I - although my local supermarket doesn't think so! - but the daffodils on the stamp reminded me of many a happy easter egg hunt among the spring bulbs. And talking of daffs, for those who are getting a bit fed up with the winter, look:

It won't be long now!

See you soon,
