Hello Ai fans!
There's a brand new release at Art Impressions. We all know they're famous for Bonnie's watercolor images and the new ones are a wonderful addition to an already amazing collection. I was lucky enough to get to premiere the Critters and Containers!
On my cards I've used these new releases...
4867 WC Foliage Set 2
4868 WC Flower Set 2
4869 WC Small Container Set
4873 WC Cats Set
4874 WC Bunnies Set
4876 Wooden Chair Mini Set
4903 WC Sentiments Set
My first card, with the Easter egg shape also has the Bunny & Ducky Mini Front and Backs on it. (for the sentiment)
I love Gingham and Polka Dots and thought they'd be a great compliment to these new images.
I love the yellow papers for spring. They make me think of my daffodils as they bloom.
We were just buried under about 33" of snow in upstate N.Y. so my crocuses that bloomed in the 3rd week of February are long gone. My daffodils will probably be the next sign of Spring.
As much as I like the light, bright cards above for Spring I had to make one card that's more to my color liking...I love deep earthtones. This one doesn't have any of the critters but has a pretty container filled with flowers.I think the navy goes nicely with the same yellow paper that the lighter colors went with in my other cards.
