Hello Crafters!
Just wanted to pop in and share a fun Spring card I have up over on the Neat & Tangled Blog. You guys know I'm all things Spring lately and this card is no exception.
I know a lot of you feel very overwhelmed by Copic markers. Especially after CREATE this past weekend. I wanted to show a card using easy blends that you can try. I want you all to enjoy coloring as much as I do!!
To give the card some interest I used a rainbow of pastel inks stamp a design in the background. I then stamped my little girl on a separate piece of white, colored her up, and die cut her out.
You can check out the video below to see the entire card being made as well as some tips on coloring!
I love how clean this card looks! It still has quite a few elements but reads as a very clean and simple card. Making the Spring die cut blue really helps it stand out!!
Thank you guys so much for stopping by!
I'll be back tomorrow with some more inspiration for you :)

Love this adorable card! Hoping you get your warmer days soon. Here in Australia we are in Autumn (Fall), although temperature wise still very Summery. Hoping your weekend is fabulous. Cheers Donna :)
ReplyDeleteThese sets are adorable. Your card is awesome as ever, I learn so much when I watch you. Great story, my reaction would probably have been the same as those ladies x Have a fab week x
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card! I love how you demonstrate the shading you can get with just two colors and the colorless blender. That was such a cute story. I have to admit I've squealed a few times myself when meeting creative "celebrities" :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous spring card, love the colours and the whole lay out you made with the background, the sentiment and the cute little girl.
ReplyDeleteYour story is great, love to hear more about Creativation.
Thank you so much for showing and hope this card will help to get Spring weather.
I love your work, your heart, your stories......I watch all the time. I can’t remember which video I was watching, but you mentioned needing coffee but only option was Starbucks. Well, I am a diehard Dunkin’ fan, too. My millennial son introduced me to Starbucks BLONDE espresso. It is awesome. Order your favorydrink from Starbucks with Blonde espresso. You will have NO BITTERNESS, No burnt ashtray flavor. It’s awesome. If I didn’t live in Florida, I’d bring you some!!!! They sell in our grocery stores so you can make at home!! Smooth, and great with a vanilla latte or double cream and sugar!!����☺️
ReplyDeleteCute card, Thanks for sharing.
