Watch it Wednesday with Lucy
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We’re lucky to have the sweet and talented Lucy Abrams joining us today for some Easter dress inspiration…and a video too!
Let’s begin by taking a look at the lovely pink hydrangea dress Lucy selected for her inspiration today. So pretty…fit for a princess!
Can you guess which new stamp Lucy was inspired to use after seeing this dress? If you guessed the Hydrangea, you are correct! A classic image like this never goes out of style, whether in fashion or in papercrafting. Taking cues from both the colors and the flowers, Lucy created this absolutely beautiful thank you card. The delicate colors and images she used work so wonderfully together here. I love it!

Watch below as Lucy shares how she colored the hydrangea by mixing Copic markers and colored pencils. She shows another lovely blue card variation in the video as well!
And we have even more lovely blossoms on our “100 Days” card below. Sally Traidman’s cheerful birthday greeting features similar colors and a happy little flower from the Cling Blossoms set. This would be a great card to create a few of at a time to have on hand for spring birthdays.

Thanks for stopping by today! Tomorrow we’ll be presenting the first round winners for the March challenge, and then on Friday I’ll return with more Easter dress inspiration. Until then, take care!

Love the cards from today’s post. Hydrangea flowers are so pretty, but in my case, the deer also love them. We live in an area where we can have very few flowers that the deer will not eat. I once talked to a flower nursery person and told them that I wanted to add color to our yard and wanted them to suggest something. He said that I did not have much of a choice, plants that are light, medium or dark green. Well that certainly makes for a colorful garden. Thanks for your beautiful work.
