Hello!
Happy Easter to all those who celebrate!
We have had a beautiful warm and sunshiny long weekend here in the North West of England. We've been making the most of it, plenty of gardening and eating outdoors with family and friends. Yesterday we went to the seaside, so summer clothes are out and pale legs are bare!
Today is my Vera Lane Studio DT day and I've made two sweet spring cards:
My first card features the Hello Spring digi set and I used the Pastel Leaves Background.
I brayered white acrylic paint over the leaves background to mute them a little more and inked the edges with Peeled Paint Distress Oxide. I added some washi tape and a piece of green ric-rac trim to ground my images. The images were coloured with Copic markers. The flower was glued onto the background and the bunny was popped on foam pads for dimension. The sentiment comes with the set - I cut it into strips, inked the edges and glued it to the background. The image square was then matted onto a square of scrapbook paper and placed on a white card.
The second card was made in the same way, using the Little Birds digi set:
There are 3 big birds in this set as well as the nest and a sentiment. I coloured my birdies with Copic markers and added some white Posca pen highlights. The background was brayered with white paint to mute the colours. The mama bird was glued onto the background and the nest popped onto foam pads. The sentiment comes with the set.
My Fairy Bunny is the pre-coloured one. She was cut out leaving a thin white border all around and attached to a piece of scrapbook paper which was simply stapled to the netting.
I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane.
It's such a friendly, fun place to be!
