					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring is one of my favorite seasons because the flowers are just gorgeous. I am looking forward to enjoy the beauty of the Daffodils at our backyard in the next week. They have some buds coming out and when they bloom, they bring the Spring colors <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p><a title="Untitled by Helen Gullett, on Flickr" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/24050009@N06/16880845092"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class=" aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm8.staticflickr.com/7587/16880845092_6a7d70d7c0_z.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1" alt="Untitled" width="640" height="640" /></a></p>
<p>Today&#8217;s card is inspired by them <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> and also some inspirations from <strong><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-spring-pinterest-inspiration-challenge/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge &#8211; Spring Pinterest Inspiration</a>:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-spring-pinterest-inspiration-challenge/"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2015/02/SSS-Pinterest-challenge.jpg?resize=415%2C415" alt="" width="415" height="415" /></a></p>
<p>First, I stamped the image on a piece of watercolor paper with <strong><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com" target="_blank">Versamark Ink Pad</a></strong>, and then added some <strong><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com" target="_blank">Ranger Gold embossing powder</a></strong> and heat set it using my <strong><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com" target="_blank">CTMH Craft Heater</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Using <strong><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com" target="_blank">CTMH Watercolor Pencils</a></strong>, I colored the flowers and stems and then using my aqua paint brush (retired) to wet them. I decided to add some blue on the background. I picked up the color directly from the <strong><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com" target="_blank">CTMH Watercolor Pencils</a></strong> using the aqua paint brush and add it to the paper lightly.</p>
<p><a title="Untitled by Helen Gullett, on Flickr" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/24050009@N06/16885882315"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class=" aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm8.staticflickr.com/7650/16885882315_9ef17841cf_z.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1" alt="Untitled" width="640" height="640" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Then using <strong><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com" target="_blank">CTMH Craft Heater</a></strong> to dry the watercolor completely (quick way, but you can let it dries naturally) and then I stamped the sentiment from <strong><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com" target="_blank">Greatest Love stamp set (B1444)</a></strong> using <strong><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com" target="_blank">Black Exclusive Ink Pad</a></strong>.</p>
