I'm back with another House Mouse card today, this time using a sweet Spring Tulip stamp set from Joanna Sheen. I coloured in the image using Distress Markers and added some glossy accents onto the rain drops. I opted for a shaped card for this image, as I always seem to reach for the square card blanks! The lovely little sentiment came with the stamp set and is just perfect for the image.
I matted and layered the image onto some designer paper and added some pretty flowers to match the colours in the image. Finally, I twisted some of the flower stems to fit under the flowers and added some gems and swirls. I think the photo came out a bit darker than I would have liked, it is a very dreary day here today in Kent.
Card ingredients:
- Tulip Stamp Set - Joanna Sheen
- Designer Papers - First Edition - Spring Feast
- Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts
- Dies - Go Kreate Frilly Frame - Swirls Crealies - Sentiment Die X-Cut
- Gems - The Hobby House
- Shaped Card Blank - Craftwork Cards
I have been inspired to make this card by The House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge 170 - Splish Splash and Gruffies & Guests Challenge 5 - Anything Goes With The Option of Spring. I hope you like my card today, thank you for visiting my blog.
