Two beautiful stamp sets will go to the May winner!
Check them out on Stamping Sensations challenge blog.
How I made my card
1. I cut a piece of whisper white for my stamping base, to fit my card.
2. I stamped the tree, the swing, then the blossom and added some deeper pinks and greens.
3. Next I stamped the green grass and added to it by sweeping with the same
ink pad to cover the bottom of the space.
4. I stamped some blossoms at the right hand side and drew in some leaves.
5. Next I punch some crumb cake and made a fence by cutting them in two
and arranging over a slim line of the same colour.
6. I stamped some blossoms, coloured with blends and cut out and added
to my fence using dimensionals.
I also stamped two little birds, one in the tree and one on the fence.
I drew some leaves and stems for each flower.
7. I took a mad notion to add some blue sky so got out my balmy blue ink
and some gesso and water and mixed it all up and painted onto the background.
7. I stamped the sentiment and chopped it, inking the edges and added to my card.
8. I finished with some wink of stella for a little bit of summer sparkle.
9. I matted this onto a piece of grapefruit grove card (which I dropped and dinted!)
and adhered to my base card.
