A Thousand Hugs

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest color challenge to inspire you –

Lovely, fresh spring colors!

As I was looking through my stamps for inspiration, I ran across an old favorite of mine, Abstract Impressions. It’s great for simple stamping –

I just loved playing with these colors and stamping. I stamped both the flowers and the greenery twice after inking up. I adds a lot of dimension and different shades by doing do this.

The sentiment is also from the same stamp set. Perfect as we deal with all this quarantining.

I finished off the card with a strip of Poppy Parade die cut using the Stitched Be Mine Dies.

I debated about the twine. It’s retired, but really tied the colors together, no pun intended.
