Stepping Into Spring Early
Time for another challenge over at The Play Date Cafe with a couple of Zesty colours, Orange and Green along with Grey.
I only had time to make a simple card, but time allowing I would like to play along again with these colours.
I stamped my background stamp (Flower Bursts from Hero Arts) with Versamark ink onto glossy card and embossed with clear powder. I sponged DI pumice stone over the image to give me my grey element. The circles were cut using Spellbinders circles and one circle was cut from glossy card and a part of the background stamp added to the circle and clear embossed as before. A small zesty orange circle was added to the top left with the sentiment happy spring added, which I won in a Memory Box competition. Orange ribbon was added along with green gems to the top right. My finished piece was layered onto orange and grey card stock.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Tracy x x
