Looking from my craftroom window, I can see distant splashes of bright pink rhododendrons.
They have made a glorious display this year. I wanted to represent them on a card, but didn't have a suitable image. However, I needed to look no further to find one than amongst my lovely Stampalot teamie
Ruth's gorgeous digi designs. Here's how I've used it.
An easel card cut with a Nestie Blossom 3 die. The background papers are from
Crafty Individuals (Book 3 - Springtime. I just love the colours in this set, and the prints are so pretty. Note to Jean and Malcolm - please don't discontinue this book!) Butterflies by Hero Arts, and sentiment by
Inkylicious (from their new Hydrangea set). Watercolour pencils for colouring.
A closer look at the details:
Ruth's beautiful digistamps can be found
here, and she has lots of samples using them on her
card blog too.

Oh wow Lynne, amazing view, how do you get any crafting done looking out at this! Gorgeous card, love your beautifully coloured image and your choice of papers match so well. Carolxx
What a view, Lynne and what a card. I've just found those CI papers in a drawer, I'd forgotten all about them. They are just beautiful aren't they and they're perfect with your flower. Love your butterflies too, it just wouldn't be a Lynne card without butterflies.

I do envy your view Lynne it's beautiful and so is your card. Gorgeous colouring and I think that Blossom 3 die has to go to the top of my wish list. A really beautiful card altogether.
