Well, technically spring is here, but it certainly doesn't feel like it. Yes, my tulips have popped out of the ground and will bloom in a few weeks, and yes we are in April now...BUT, it is cold and gray and is snowing every other day. Sigh...I'm just longing for some color in my currently brown yard. In the meantime I am making fake flowers...for my cards anyway! This card I'm showing today was featured in our monthly newsletter along with some directions.
Here they are:
Supplies
Cardstock: White, and Bazzill Lemonade, Wisteria, Hazel, Leapfrog, Reed
Stamps:
Fun to be FloralInk: Ranger Espresso and Meadow
Other: Mono adhesive and pop dots
Directions
1. Cut standard-size card using lavender colored cardstock (Bazzill Wisteria)
2. Stamp flower from Fun to be Floral set using Espresso ink onto different colored cardstock pieces and trim out. (I used Bazzill Lemonade, Hazel and white)
3.Cut out two strips of light green and dark green cardstock approx. 5 1/2"x2". (I used Bazzill Leapfrog and Reed.) To make grass, make cuts along the long side of the strip going half-way down. Curl ends using pencil.
4. Adhere "grass" to the card base, placing the lighter grass in front and then stamp "happy day" using Meadow ink onto the lighter green grass.
5. Adhere flowers slightly behind grass using mono adhesive and pop dots for dimension.
