I saw some crocuses to day, so I am really hoping that Spring really and truly is on its way. I am ready for it!
For today's card, I decided to play around with the Clever Owl (B1238) along with some of the new Poppyfinch paper. It is gorgeous! To make the card, I stamped the Vine Branch (D1240) onto Eggshell cardstock using green pigment ink. I then colored over the branch using a brown Prismacolor pencil so that it would be brown instead of green. I left the leaves alone so that they would remain green in color. I stamped the owl onto some purple Poppyfinch paper and then accented his wings with the same brown pencil. Can you tell from the picture that the owl has a slight purple pattern to him? I then cut out the owl and perched him on the branch. I finished the branch by shading underneath it with grey Prismacolor pencils to add a little dimension. To finish the card, I stamped Happy Spring (B1215), added a layer of Concord Grape cardstock, added some Poppyfinch floral paper, and layered everything onto a Wisteria notecard.
So so cute!! Loving all your cards!
