Spring has Sprung

This card expresses some of my favorite things in nature: birds, flowers, and butterflies. This was a little different color combo. The image and all colors and paper are from Stampin Up. The image is Serene Spring . The colors are Only Orange, Garden Green, and black. I used a Tim Holtz ink pad called Tea Dyed also.

I inked the image on white card stock. I colored it with Stampin Up water color pencils. I also hightlighted the flowers, bird, butterfly, and pot with a white pen after I wet the image and it dried. Then I sponged around the bottom with Garden Green and the top with Yo yo Yellow. I wanted to tie the orange in so I sponged some of that around the top too. The green card stock I sponged on the edges with the Tim Holtz Tea Dyed. On the orange I made lines up and down with the Tim Holtz Tea Dyed Pad and then pulled it across left to right. I really like the texture to the card stock. I foam dot mounted the image part on textured black paper from Stampin Up. Well, I have to say this is one of my favorite cards I have made. I sent it off to my grandma today. Hope she likes it too.



I have been knitting alot lately. It really calms the nerves. Its getting close to summer and as busy as I have been it will be here before ya know it. So I feel stessed at times. Hope to have something to share soon.



Hope you all have a fabulous rest of the week.
