This is my third post for today. Click HERE for the Custom Button post,
and HERE for Beautiful Iris, a new release from IBS.
I'm trying out a new-to-me challenge this week: Inkspirational, co-owned by my friend Ellen. Our design team at Inspired By Stamping is pairing with the DT from Inkspirational this month. IBS is sponsoring the prize. :-) This week's challenge is all about Shades of Green.
For Christmas, I received a maple leaf punch and hadn't played with it yet. This was the perfect chance to create a fresh green wreath (well, freshly made of paper!).
I added some Liquid Pearls to dot the leaves. I'm quite sure you won't see this in nature ;-).....
The sentiment is from Flowers Bloom by IBS.
St. Patrick's Day is coming up, and it's a great chance to make a "Shades of Green" card if you're feeling inspired. Come play with us. You could win the prize from Inspired By Stamping!
