Bloom with Joy-Not 2 Shabby

Hi y'all! 
Happy Thursday and Happy March! 

I'm swinging in today to share another card using the newly released Bunnies in Bloom from Not 2 Shabby. Did you see the release and happened to pick up the bundle or any of the goodies?!...Such sweet images and papers. <3 

Here's my card...


I kept things nice and simple.  Which sometimes that's all we need, simple, right?!...

Let's create this card! 

  • Start with white cardstock that is marker friendly.
  • Using the Bloom with Joy stamp set, stamp image using black ink.
  • Color image using alcohol markers. 
  • Add paint splatters using a watercolor marker and or watercolor with a dampen paintbrush.
  • Let dry.
  • Using an A2 white card base, adhere the panel from above onto the card base.
  • Add sparkling enamel dots.


Easy peasy, right?!...and sweet!

Well, that's all for me. I hope I inspired you today! :) 

And don't forget! It's March, which means the Not 2 Shabby March Monthly Mood Board Challenge is in full swing!! If you haven't played along with any of the challenges, it's so easy to do so! You can find all the info HERE and there's even a chance at winning a $15 gift certificate to the Not 2 Shabby Shop!! Be sure to play along...love to see you there! :)
