With the clocks jumping forward an hour I am reminded that it won't be long now till summer (fingers crossed). Whilst I hate what feels like loosing an hour I am looking forward to the benefit of lighter evenings as this means more craft time!
I have been really bitten by the Spring/Summer bug and the following set of cards this week will bring a bit of light regardless of the weather.
I was treated to a full set of Spectrum Noir pens this weekend by my other half - I think he got fed up with me tutting about not having a full set of pens. So now I am playing with colour and neglecting all housework.
The above card was quite a simple make. The little bird house I stamped out in black ink - try to get an ink pad that you can use for fine detail. Once that was stamped I left it for a while to dry before colouring in with my new pens.
I then mounted the bird house stamp on some Mambi paper that I had. I chose spring green to compliment the colours I wanted to use.
The flowers I stamped out using the same black ink pad. Once they were dry I coloured them in using complimenting colours. Similarly I stamped out leaves but used Pearlescent Ivy - Dew Drop.
Before I added all the elements to the card I used a little ivy stamp and stamped some really small leaves in the same Ivy ink. I coloured these in with the same green pens that I used for the larger leaves. Once all was dry I simply added the main central element and then placed around the edges the leaves and flowers.
Hope you like the finished effect and enjoy the extra daylight hours!
