Hellebore

Hello! This week, the Stampendous Team is sharing projects with “Flowers for Spring.” I don’t know about you, but I am not a fan of the winter. I much prefer the warmth and beauty of the spring. Today’s card has the new Hellebore stamp. This is a BIG stamp, and it is just beautiful. I wanted to make this card very dynamic and bright, to sort of chase away those winter blues. And I think I succeeded. My full instructions are below so that you can make this card yourself.
