Hello my lovelies, how's your week going? I can't believe it's already 1st March, it only seems like 2 minutes since Christmas but hopefully March means longer days and warmer weather. It also means a new challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu where our theme this month is 'Spring Colours or Easter'.
I've made a card featuring a Spring scene using lots of different stamps. I began by stamping the dog (from Sheena Douglass) and masking with masking tissue. Then I used a Clarity Stencil and some glimmer mists to create the blue sky and green hills. The clouds were made using a sponge and acrylic paint/ I stamped in the trees (from Chocolate Baroque). The foliage and mushrooms were stamped using Lavinia stamps and Memento inks. I coloured the dog with Lyra pencils and added some grass to bring the scene together. I used Gathered Twigs distress ink around the edges.
I'm entering this project in the following challenges:
Addicted to Stamps and More: Anything goes
Crafty Cardmakers: go green
Paper Minutes: Spring
Paper Shelter: Animal Magic
The Crazy Challenge: We love animals
Thanks so much for visiting today, hope to see you again soon

I think this is one of your best from the colours to the design. It could be because I am thinking of my black Lab, Katie who passed over the rainbow bridge. This reminds me of a doggie who is happy to find his place in the sun. Just a lovely card
ReplyDeleteWow this is gorgeous. You have certainly got the hang of creating scenes with stamps - I personally struggle with stamps and have so very many of them. I think I need to keep trying. Thank you for being so clever and inspiring hun xx

ReplyDeleteA stunning card. I love the scene you have created and the bold colours of the grass and sky contrast nicely with the softness of the frame. Thanks for sharing with us at Crafty Cardmakers. Sally.x.
