Hi! Welcome to a new week! This week I’ll be taking you on a stroll through the clothing department and sharing cards inspired by Easter dresses! Inspiration can be found every day and every place you look. I often find myself looking at fabric and clothing and dreaming of new card designs. (Please tell me I’m not the only one?)

I was browsing baby girl outfits this past week, and as soon as I laid my eyes on this Daisy Party Dress from babyGap.com, I was inspired to stamp. It’s soft, sunny, and decidedly springy! The allover large scale daisy print instantly made me think of creating a card with a big flower as the main design element.

I turned to the aptly named Large Flower stamp and decided to stop running from the color yellow. I don’t have anything against the color, I just don’t find myself using it very often for some reason. Spring seems like the perfect time to give it a whirl! The Hero Hues Daffodil papers are a nice buttery yellow, very easy to use. Here I colored the flower with white and yellow colored pencils on kraft paper for a bit of a rustic feel.

For our 100 Days idea today, Robyn Werlich also created a card with a bold flower as the focus, opting for a vibrant red on the layered die cut flower. This flower is one of the many wonderful Hero Arts Silhouette images. (You can see all of the Hero Arts Silhouette designs HERE.)  Isn’t the color combination on Robyn’s card fabulous?!

And just a reminder in case you’re joining us for the first time this month, our March challenge is underway!

The theme is Spring & Easter and HERE is a post with all of the pertinent information on submitting, prizes, and deadlines! Won’t you play along? We love seeing your creativity at work and look forward to seeing where the challenge topic takes you this month.

See you tomorrow for another dress and two more cards!
