Love the site Julie gave us this week to inspire us: Grandinroad. So many beautiful things there but when I saw this Happy Spring pillow, I knew what I was going to make.
I used six sets of stamps for my card and did a lot of masking. I think each flower and the sentiment was from a different set except for Calendar set 1 (think 3 flowers were from it). I colored all the flowers with Copics, stamped the sentiment and I was finished. This was a card I thoroughly enjoyed making. Come join us in the inspiration challenge....you can do yard work later.

What a delightful rendition of your inspiration pillow...your blooms are so rich, lovely, and colorful. Your coloring is fabulous!! They look good enough to smell right off the page!

I thought you had found an amazing floral stamp until I read that you masked this beautiful design. What a pretty arrangement of flowers. You colored it so nicely.

Wow - this is one mighty popular card! And I can see why. Great job Benzi! All that masking - at first I thought it was an 'all-in-one' bouquet stamp! Such a wonderful result from all your efforts.
