JDS - Dogwood Blooms

 It's a new month and two new digital stamp sets on sale at Jan's Digital Stamps
and a new challenge has begun.
 
My card:


 Dogwoods are so beautiful, we had a dogwood tree before we 
moved, they are hard to grow in Missouri. I stenciled my
background to match my dogwood flowers-colored with
Copics, 5 extra's layered for dimension and layered my
sentiment using stitched dies.
 
I used Jan's new release Dogwood Blooms and sentiment is
from Across the Miles set.
 
Check out my teammates designs and join the Jan Digi Stamps month
 long Anything Goes Challenge here.
 
All St. Patricks digital sets are on sale!
 

 
A few fun challenges:

Dogwood trees are gorgeous and we have plenty of them here in PA. I love the wreath of them along with that gorgeous stenciled background. Beautiful!

This is a gorgeous card and image. I love the stenciling on the background, it makes the eye go directly to those lovely Dogwoods. Thanks for a great team project for the Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge.

Hi, Donna! Fantastic use of color in your artwork, especially the explosion of life behind the dogwood blooms! Here the dogwoods bloom both white and pink, and I treasure the pink! Thanks for featuring this bloom in your March kickoff project for the JDS Challenge!

Such a cool background you made for the flowers Donna. And your flowers are so lovely . I somehow don't remember to use stencils in my creations...I keep reaching for papers and dies!
Cheers, Dr Sonia

Wowza, Donna! Your dogwood blossom wreath alone would make a stunning card, but layering that bold stencil behind took this to a whole nother spectacular level! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

Your wreath of dogwood flowers is just stunning Donna! I love the way you've stenciled your background with it too! Beautiful creation!

Marina said...

This is beautiful! So much dimension and the stencilling that echoes the wreath shape, is perfect.

Chris Dring said...

Pink dogwoods are my favorite trees, and you've colored these images beautifully! Such a pretty card!

So beautiful.

Absolutely stunning - reminds me that hopefully spring is just around the corner. The coloring and layering is spectacular . We have wild dogwoods in the woods and we have a tame one as well but it blooms later than the wild ones.

Very pretty floral card. I like the background stenciling too. xxx

This card is beautiful. I love the dogwood wreath. We took a little drive the other day and the dogwoods and Bradford pear trees all look so pretty right now.
