Hello, and Happy First Day of Spring!!
We've had some recent rains, and the trees are out in bloom, the grasses coming up bright green on the hillsides, and the chickadees are nesting once again in the bird house in my back patio! It can't help but make one hopeful.
For my card today, I have used the gorgeous Hydrangea Hill DSP. I just love the colors and the flowers and patterns in this DSP. I hope you do too. To see all the selection in this pack of 12" x 12" paper click HYDRANGEA.
Stamp sets are Beautiful Moments and Springtime Joy. Dies are Layering Ovals and Stitched So Sweetly.
Here are the inks I used.
I used the Beautiful Moments stamp set to stamp the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto white card stock; die cut using Layering Oval Dies. I stamped her a second time onto a sticky note and cut the 2nd image out to create a mask. Then using Blending Brushes I colored the sky with 3 colors, starting at the top: Misty Moonlight, Highland Heather, and Rococo Rose. I removed the mask and did the rest of the coloring using Stampin' Blends: Cinnamon Cider & Mango Melody (hair), Ivory (arms), Rococo & Petal Pink (dress), Granny Apple Green (grass), Highland Heather (flowers). Butterflies were stamped in black.
Sentiment is from Springtime Joy, stamped in Gorgeous Grape onto white CS, die cut using Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
Card measurements:
- Card base: Highland Heather CS, 11" x 4 1/4", folded at 5 1/2".
- Layer of Granny Apple Green CS, 5 3/8" x 4 1/8".
- Hydrangea Hill DSP: 5 1/4" x 4".
Assemble: glue the layers of DSP and CS to the card base. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the oval image piece on top. Add the sentiment overlapping the oval, gluing it where it overlaps & using a dimensional where it attaches to the card front.
Inside: I glued a strip of the DSP to white CS measuring 5" x 3 3/4". I stamped the sentiment from Beautiful Moments stamp set in Gorgeous Grape ink. Then I glued this to the inside of the card.
There you have it.
I hope this card brought you some inspiration to get stamping and creating a springtime card of your own. Whatever the weather in your area, inside you can make it spring!
