Signs of Spring

Here in Northern California we are seeing signs of spring - our state flower, the Golden Poppy, is blooming now.  I made this card this weekend for the SCS Inspiration challenge.  We were to look through Geninne's Art Store.  I picked the piece called Amapolas for my inspiration.  I inked up my Hero Arts Poppies Background with 2 colors of blue Versamagic chalk ink and stamped it on PaperTrey white card stock.  I colored in the poppies with SU! Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive markers.  I added some Black Amuse Twinklers to the centers of the poppies.  The panel is attached to PaperTrey Orange Zest card stock with foam tape.

 

This is the second card I made for the inspiration challenge.  I used the Fly print from the art store.  The bird is from Crafty Secrets.  I stamped the bird with Memento Rich Cocoa onto PaperTrey white card stock.  I colored the bird with Copic markers and then colored over the bird with a Versamarker and clear embossed it.  I then brayered over the bird using SU! Ballet Blue.  I used a white gel pen to make the snow (or stars possibly?) like the print .  I finished it off by mounting the stamped panel on a piece of white card stock and then onto Orange Zest card stock and added three blue rhinestones.

Thanks for coming by!
