Spring has Sprung

Spring has really sprung and everywhere it is starting to become green. The leaves on the trees are beautiful wild wasabi green and the blossom has started appearing on the cherry trees in the garden and the apples and pears.

I love Spring as Summer is just around the corner. The days are longer and lighter and the sun is starting to warm the earth.

So today's card is a celebration of Spring with Vintage Leaves and Leaflets Framelits Dies to create a mask.

I sponged the mask with wild wasabi and emerald envy and then die cut the Love from the Sunshine Wishes Framelits dies in wild wasabi.

Stitched framelits part 2 tutorial

So today we are using the largest circle stitched framelit again and this time using it as a centre focal point in the same pattern as the background.

Colours used flirty flamingo, peekaboo peach, crushed curry, dapper denim and smoky slate. Firstly die cut the stitched framelit circle in whisper white and pit in th centre of a piece of whisper white cardstock half an inch smaller than whatever base card you want. Using thrnsponge daubers colour the whole area in different tones using circular motions to blend each colour into the other.

With smoky slate use the timeless texture stamp set to decorate the whole area and then a little black ink with the small dot stamp for different texture. Mount the stitched circle on dimensionals for height and then mount on black and use a die to cut whatever words mounted on a diagonal. Embellish with some rhinestones for a bit of bling and you have a layered pretty card for any occasion.

Come back tomorrow as we use the waste from the circle die cut to make out third card in this series.
