Damask Diva's April Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends! I sure hope y'all are the enjoying the 

Damask Diva's Close To My Heart team blog hop! This month we

are featuring the Ariana Paper Pack! If you came here from

Shirley Bernal's blog then you are in the right place! If you have just

now stumbled upon our hop please visit the Damask Diva's 

blog where you can start from the beginning!

To be honest, Ariana was one of out new paper packs that I didn't think

that I would be purchasing. I think it was something about the big

floral print that made me think "old lady." Well I decided to 

buy it anyways, thought it might be good for some mother's day cards.

Well when I got it out and started playing with it, I fell in love

with it! The big floral pattern that I thought was a turn off has ended

up as my background paper on quite a few cards! This is the one

pack that I might actually order another one of!

For this card I followed one of this month's sketches from Viva la Verve.

For the base I used some Slate cardstock cut to be a 5.25 x 5.25

 square card. The stamps I used are from the new

  Mother's Day stamp set. I inked my stamps with Exclusive Ink in

 Crystal Blue and Outdoor Denim. I then added

some pink Flamingo Dots for some dimension.

the creations by the Damask Diva's using Ariana paper!
