Hello, Studio Visitors! While spring has sprung, the April showers have returned to my neck of the woods. We've got tulips and hyacinth blooming (and the raindrops on them are so pretty!). The trees are finishing their bloom and leaves are starting to emerge.
This card was inspired by nature and the fine folks at the Colour Me Card Challenge, who put forth the challenge of using Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay. I enjoyed making a shaped card, using my Labels Collection Framelits. What a simple way to make fun, shaped cards! Click below to watch a tutorial outlining this simple process:
The Square Lattice TIEF added Easter basket-like texture to the Daffodil Delight piece and is mirrored by the Burlap Ribbon (also fed through my Big Shot with the Labels Collection Framelit).
This beautiful image comes from a single stamp in the Occasions Catalog called Blessed Easter. It includes the sentiment, "Wishes for a Blessed Easter," but I want to use this card all spring long, so I omitted the sentiment in my inking.
I watercolored my blooms using the Aqua Painter and my Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay Classic Inks. Since I was limited to those two colors, I had to lay down Daffodil Delight first in the stem and go over it with the Bermuda Bay to achieve something close to green.
