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.

The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time.
