Good morning folks my first post of today is a Spring themed card using the beautiful new release stamp 'Walled Garden' and one of my old favourite sets called Glorious Spring from Chocolate Baroque.The winter seems to have been very grey and wet so I thought it was time for a reminder that Spring isn't too far away (hopefully)
I began by stamping and masking the primroses from Glorious Spring on watercolour card. Next I stamped the Walled Garden and then the two rabbit stamps, I didn't bother to mask the Walled Garden stamp. Next I inked the sky using Tumbled Glass and Broken China distress inks applied with an ink blending tool. To create the clouds, I used a very wet paintbrush to create some cloud shapes in the sky. I left the water for a minute and then blotted with kitchen roll. I coloured the images with distress inks and inked around the edges with brown ink. The sky looked a little blank so I stamped the sentiment (again from Glorious Spring) in the cloudy sky.
I matted the image on kraft card and added a bow, paper flower and a filigree corner from my stash.
