The essence of Spring x 2

 

Our our new challenges for April begin today at We Love Stamping  and Stamping Sensations.

The card above is my DT card for We Love Stamping. You can use the Anything Goes option or the optional theme of Spring chosen by DT member Alice.

I've design a spring scene using some old CC stamps and a few AALL&Create stamp in the background. I coloured parts of the scene using TH DI watercolour pencils.

We have three prizes from AALL and Create, 1) Key Botanicals 2) See you Soon and 3) Hexagon stencil with Delicate Wings stamp

 

Next is my make for our new challenge at Stamping Sensations where we would like to see at least one stamped element on the front of your card. You can use the Anything Goes option or the optional mood board below.

I decided to do a page in my art journal using the Paris PB stamp. I put colour onto the stamp using an ink pad but I wasn't too happy with the result. So I stamped again in black and then sprayed with water to give a watercolour effect. I then filled in with AALL & Create stamps from various sets. Also some tulips from a preloved set I bought and postage stamps from a CC set.

I've been inspired by the Eiffel Tower, Tulips and pink from the mood board.

Our prize this month is a £25 Crafty Individuals voucher.
