Good Morning everyone
Today Im sharing another spring card using the katkin krafts 'love nest' stamps
I made a sky background with turquoise brushos, once dry cut to size and added to a white base card. I added leaf green & lime green brushos another piece of white card and die cut the spellbinders leafy frame from it. I die cut 4 more of the leafy frames from scrap card and glued them all together to give me depth to the frame and this is easier than trying to apply foam tape to it, it also gives the frame the feel of chipboard.
I worked out where i wanted the frame on the blue background and then stamped the branches into place, i then adhered the frame.
I stamped all the birds and cherry blossom onto white card and watercoloured with derwent inktense pencils, also colouring the base images - the inktense pencils work well over the brusho background. I then cut out the bird nests and decoupaged onto the base images with pinflair glue gel. I cut out a few of the flowers and added.
Stamped sentiment die cut into an oval to finish. This 'step into spring' was a magazine freebie and ive used it so much as i think its a lovely sentiment, stepping out of the grey of winter and into the beauty of spring.
Just close ups.
Im not sure what my camera/light box did to the colours of these, they arent quite as luminous in real life😀
