Hi everyone,
It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about April Showers Bring May Flowers.
Finally the beginning of spring is showing here in the Netherlands. Some of the trees are blossoming, and some spring flowers are popping up. Spring is my favorite season, because nature starts blooming and the temperature goes up so we can go outside more. Can't wait till it's in full swing!
The new Wildflower stamps from Tim Holtz are so cool and perfect for this challenge. I've stamped them with my MISTI because with some solid stamps I often don't get a good impression of it. And with the MISTI I can stamp in exactly the same place as many times as necesarry. With Brilliant Galaxy Gold I stamped with a little offset over the same stamps. Love that effect!
I don't know why, but the color yellow is reminds me of spring. Probably because of Easter and the sun I guess. That's why I've sprayed with Lemon Zest Dylusions Spray over the Plastic Canvas stencil to give me some vibrant yellow. Yellow with black is such an amazing color combination!
For the whole process from beginning to end, watch the video below!

Sandra, such a great card!!! Thank you for the video, as always I love them! hugs xx
I would never dare to pair black and yellow for fear of looking like I created a bumblebee card, but you NAILED IT! You have such a gift for matching and mixing subtle tones. This is stunning!
Beautiful card Sandra! I too love to use yellow during spring and I have a whole bunch of yellow projects in different stages of completion on my desk right now. Fabulous textures as always!
