Well, I must say, it's difficult feeling like spring underneath all this SNOW in Nova Scotia. That's not to complain...I quite enjoy winter! But it's a little tough to "think spring" these days (lol). However, today's Impression Obsession challenge is...yep...feel like spring! So I put my thinking cap on, and used some to-be-released-at-CHA stamps for these cards.
I've become a new Gary Robertson stamp fan! This is one of several new stamps coming after CHA. I really like how they're such "naturals" to pair with FlowerSoft.

I can't wrap my head around spring yet either but your lovely cards have helped. The watercoloring on vellum is beautiful. So delicate and soft. Very pretty!
These are both lovely, Deb! I really like your vellum and paint experiment too!
Oh so beautiful. The watercolour and the vellum look fantastic. And how effective are the those flowers in your first card.
Both of these are both beautiful Deborah!! I love the color wash on the second one... what a beautiful effect!
I like your second card, with the water colour and the vellum. Stunning effect!
Beautiful card with the flower soft. Have some of that sitting in my drawer and haven't tried it yet! :) Love Gary R designs too. I bought a few of them and have used them just a few times.
I forgot to mention I loved the vellum and paint! I will need to try that as well now! :)
Ohhhh so lovely! Love the vellum with the watercolor effect -- beautiful! And the flower soft with the Gary image -- perfect pairing!
This is beautiful and I love taht stamp. Needed something spring in the zero weather in NW IL and all the snow.
LOVE that new stamp by Gary Robertson. Have a feeling your card is what brings out its beauty. The watercolor on vellum is so pretty and perfect with that verse. And I am in awe of the Asian themed lovelies in the previous post. Simply stunning!!
Stay warm and well. Spring's only 69 days away...
