Springtime Music


Hello Everyone!
I want to share a card I created for  my Paper Temptress Design Team post.  
I felt like creating a Spring themed card today.   
We are going to have a cooler spell this week but that makes it all the more fun to create cards
 that bring Spring into my home!

Lazy Susan Buggies (Whimsy Stamps)
Paper
Card Base:  Heavenly White 120#
Focal Image and Die Cut:  Neenah Solar White 80#
Matting:  Cotton Candy 65#
Tools: 
Paper Trimmer
Adhesive
Die Cut Machine
Spellbinders Elegant Label 4
Wax Paper for easy die release
Pearls - White
Paint brushes
My image was stamped with Memento -  Tuxedo Black  ink.
I like this because it is compatible with my Copic Markers.


The focal image was colored with Copic Alcohol ink markers.
I added Some Multiliner to areas that may have to stamped clearly.
I used watercolor for my background by lightly wetting the paper
 and allowing the  various ink to infuse near each other.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite background techniques!
I adhered my layers with adhesive
and
With a few pearls for a touch of elegance, my card is completed.

I hope you enjoy my Springtime card
and that you will  stop by Paper Temptress and see the beautiful papers and card stock.
I know I love adding new things to my collection!
Have a great day and stop back soon!

  1. That lacy die cut is a terrific way to showcase your lovely watercolored image. I have the die, now if I only had the talent to paint like you. I'll keep practicing....maybe someday...sigh.....thanks for being my inspiration.
