Flowers and Fairies Week with Stampendous

Today I'm sharing a card I made for the Stampendous April catalog. I just had to make these in a watercolor style. I think I was just ready for some light and refreshing designing in the middle of winter and rainy spring.

The Cosmos Spray stamp is one of just a few new flower stamps that are from the catalog and half of the theme week over on the Stampendous blog. Fellow design teamie, Jamie Martin, and I are posting today, so stop by her blog if you have a minute.
