Stamp Crazy with Alison

Helping Me Grow with Lilacs in Bloom!

April 4, 2016 by Alison Solven

4 Apr

My Project 46-001
I can't decide if these are lilacs or stock.  I decided to colour them as lilacs because it reminds me of when I was a kid growing up in Ontario.  We had huge lilac trees in our yard and when they bloomed it was spring.  Now I live in Vancouver and I have three different kinds of lilacs in my yard.  The seasons are different here so now when the pussy willows bloom in my yard it's spring – it's mid-March and they are already done for the season.

I love watercolouring and the Helping Me Grow stamp set has been fun to use with my Aqua Painters and inks.  Can you see the lines around the images?  I always draw a thin line of Smoky Slate (or a light blue depending on the image) before I start to "anchor" my image.  Don't worry if you go outside the lines – that's how it supposed to look and leave some lighter or even some white space.

I finished off my card by stamping a tone-on-tone lilac on the card front with Wisteria Wonder ink.  The White 1/4" Jute Ribbon and the Wisteria Wonder 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon add a soft touch to the card.

I add a few pears to the center of some of the flowers and I was done.
