Birthday Crocus

Welcome

Just a quick post today

I needed a card, and had one 'sort of' started, but it would not cooperate.. so it sat there for some days, and the birthday crept closer.

I saw a card by Bev of Uniko on Instagram, and was inspired, but the 'realistic' side of me could not stamp that in purple, which was the colour I wanted to use.

So I pulled out my trusty Crocus stamp by Uniko (which appears to have been discontinued) By this time I was not particularly well, so rather than divide my panel into three, 

I simply coloured the crocus with my FC Polychromo pencils, 

stamped the sentiment, (a magazine freebie) brushed the edges and assembled

And added a few wee clear gems as 'dew drops'.

I finished the inside with the same washi tape as on the envelope, but unfortunately the photo was blurred, so you just have to trust me 😊
