Spring Comes ~ fmnSC004

I was making cards for a class at "Remember When Scrapbooking" when I realized it would make a great card kit. I switched out the ribbon and used a different stamp, but didn't change the basic design much. The frame is raised up on a matching piece of chipboard and adds some dimension to the front of the card. I love this particular scallop die from AccuCut and promptly added another layer of scallops to match. Sometimes when I can't find a sentiment I prefer, or in this case, didn't want to add too much work to the class, I go looking online to find quotes that appeal to me and relate to what's going on outside. The great thing about printing something out yourself is making all the colors go together

Any butterfly or flower or bow, would be a easy addition to this card. But if you need a neat little set of stamps to get you going, you can use the same on I did and find it HERE.

If you would like to purchase this kit, you can purchase it HERE. There is enough product to make the card three times.

I love using a brayer to color my glossy paper. It's a little tricky. You'd think it would be better to start with the lightest color, but at a recent class, we discovered that starting at the bottom of the card with the darkest color will give us an opportunity later to re-activate the green in this case and blend it into the light blue gradually.

You can make this card at Destination Marysville on April 10th along with two other cards, lunch and access to several dozen Stampscapes Rubber Stamps so that you can take what you've learned and play for another 2 1/2 hours. Check out the Stampscapes website as well...it has the most amazing gallery and tutorials you'll find anywhere.
