Verve Inspiration Blog Hop



February is the month of love and flowers are a popular gift
so add some petal power to your cards this month!

I'm joining in with the Inspiration Team this month because the photo was so refreshing and gave me such a surge for bright colors, well I couldn't resist. If you've been hopping along with us today you will have come from Charmaine's blog to here and when you'll venture on through the rest of the Floral Fantasy Hop you will visit Jen Shult's blog. Have a great time and join on in this month!


My card today is using two sets that go so well together, Doodled Occasions and Stronger Love. I started out with somewhat bright paper out of the Pocket full of Posies paper pad and then I wanted a splash of vibrant colors to go with the inspiration photo. That was the end of my somewhat bright paper as I scribbled around the stamped flowers with water-soluble oil pastels. I had fun and it all just makes us smile, right?
