Michelle's WT Challenge was to make "green cards". Cards for St. Pat's would seem a natural, but mine are already in addressed envelopes ready to mail.....so I moved on to a card for Easter. This Hero stamp lays down an inked bg. I applied the Celery and Gumball inks, then spritzed with water before putting it to paper. The lilies-of-the-valley were then colored with Copics.

Sallie, this is such a pretty Easter card... Love the colouring of the Lily of the Valley with the beautiful die cut frame.. also love the use of swiss dots for the bg....

Simply beautiful, Sallie. You are so organised to have your St. Patrick's Day cards all ready to go. I'm glad we get to see this delicate beauty instead - it's like a little framed watercolour. I've always loved Lily of the Valley. It's not something that grows terribly well here so mostly I have to make do with Solomon's Seal in real life - almost as pretty, but no scent.
