I started my project by taking a piece of cardstock that I had previously done a mono print with acrylic paint and my gel block. I then took a ruler and drew 3 lines down and 4 across. The result was a grid to work on.

I took post it notes and masked off the individual areas. Then using black stazon ink, I stamped the flowers from Pocket Blooms on to each of the masked off areas.

STAMPlorations POCKET BLOOMS

I used white and yellow acrylic paint to paint the daisies.

I alternated the sections that I put the daisies on and left some blank.

I wanted to add some more interest. So I used my Abstract oats stencil and a green marker to fill in the sections that didn't have flowers on them.

Here is the finished card. With this really pretty garden, I just knew that it would make a perfect home for my butterfly. (Look for this butterfly to visit all my projects for the Spring Fling.) 

STAMPlorations BLOSSOM LIKE A BUTTERFLY

I decided to make my envelope match my card. I don't know how well it will hold up in the mail system, but I like how it turned out. 

I hope you have been inspired by my spring fling project. Remember to comment on the featured blogs to win that day's prize. There is one other way that you can be a winner.
