I think "Winter" has been hibernating until this last month and decided to dump 3 months worth of precipitation and cold all in the month of February. Crazy enough, we still don't have enough snow pack in our mountains. I know winter isn't over, but I know once March hits Spring is on its way. The Forsythia comes out, the crocus and daffodils start poking their little heads out of the ground and the temperature warms up.
I opted for a Cherry Blossom stamp being that I have spring on the brain - I attempted the white embossing and the inside of the flowers are very sparkly with wink of stella, but I just didn't get the pop I was looking for so.....
I attempted it in black. I like both of them, but the black is definitely more striking. They always look better in person.
