Song of Spring


Happy Sunday Ladies,

This card was a real challenge for me. I bought this stamp set because I wanted to get away from just buying flower sets. Well when I got it, I didn't like it. This is only my second card with this set. The challenging thing for me was coloring the bird. I looked in the catalog to see what colors they used for coloring it. It was hard trying to blend the colors together. I should have used the pastels instead of the ink. I like the final outcome of the card. I think it's cute. Have a wonderful day.
Supplies:
Spring Song ss; Close to Cocoa, Rose Red,Chocolate Chip & More Mustard CS; Close to Cocoa, So Saffron, Dusty Durango, Rose Red & Old Olive ink; Scallop Edge & Scallop Circle Punch; 1/4" Rose Red & 5/8" Chocolate Chip grograin ribbon

  3. You did a beautiful job blending this hun. It looks sooo pretty, dont be sooo hard on yourself:) I know I had a hard time picking colors for the birds, and even some of the animal images, but the more you work with these the more you will love them:) Good luck and make sure you put that birdie stamp to good use, and stamp a bunch of images and just mess around with different shades on each image:) You will love coloring them after:)

    Have a nice day!!
    Hugs,
    Cheryl
