Hello, today a new challenge starts on the As You Like It Challenge Blog, and this time the challenge is sponsored by Last minute Manda. This time, we would like to know what your favourite season is. I think all the seasons have their own charm, but if I really had to choose, I would pick spring. It marks the beginning of warmer weather, although thankfully it is not too hot yet. The days start to get longer again, the trees begin to grow new leaves, and people seem happier because they get to enjoy more sunshine. It is such a lovely time of year!
Tulips are synonymous with spring, so I made a card using the digital stamp Bunny Tulips by Conie Fong. I also used this image for the previous challenge. I printed the image twice and coloured both copies at the same time. For this version, I used cheerful spring colours with my Polychromos pencils, a black glaze pen from Sakura, and a white Uni Posca pen. I then cut out the image. Using the Hand drawn squares with small stitches (D231074) by Gummiapan, I die-cut a square from orange patterned paper from the Spring sunburst paper pack from Sunny studio stamps and adhered it to a white card base. I die-cut the bottom of the image using the Hand drawn circles with small stitches (D231072) by Gummiapan, and then used the same die to cut a circle from white cardstock. On the white circle, I blended a background for the image using Peacock feathers Distress ink. I stamped a sentiment from the Handletter – Huwelijk clear stamp set by CraftEmotions (which is unfortunately no longer in business) onto my card. Finally, I embellished the remaining corners of the card with white hotfix gemstones.
