We are getting some really great, 60 degree temperatures here in Ohio. Along with sunny, sunny days. I know it won’t last but while it is here it is making me want to stamp Spring stuff. 🙂 So today I created another Spring card using the Stampin’ Up! set “Thoughts and Prayers”. Gotta love this tree. Of course, I have never met a tree I didn’t like. I know, TREE HUGGER!
Let’s get started. . . . . . .
Supplies:
| Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Thoughts & Prayers |
| Paper: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Basic Black and Rose Red |
| Ink: Stampin’ Up! Summer Sun, Cameo Coral, Pink Passion, Rose Red and Basic Black |
| Accessories: Stampin’ Up White Gel Pen, Brayer, Barely Banana Brads, Flower and Word Window Punches, Big Shot Machine and Alphabet Die |

Brayered Summer Sun at the bottom of a 4″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.
Added a 1″ circle punched from the sticky part of a post it note as a mask for the sun.
Brayered more Summer Sun ink at the bottom of the card stock, just until the sun shape shows up.
Brayered Cameo Coral ink at the top of the card stock.
Brayered Pink Passion at the top of the card stock, not covering the Cameo Coral ink entirely.
Stamped the tree from the Stampin’ Up set Thoughts and Prayers using Basic Black ink.
Turned the card stock upside down and dragged the Basic Black ink pad from the bottom of the card stock up toward the tree base. This creates a grassy/rocky type ground area.
Using my Big Shot Machine and the alphabet die, die cut the letters Spring, using Summer Sun card stock.
Sponged Cameo Coral at the bottom of each letter.
Lined a post it note up so it would be straight across the card stock where I wanted the lettering to be. This was easy using the Stampin’ Up Grid pad underneath the panel. Glued my lettering in place using the post it note as a guide to keep my letter straight.
Sponged Rose Red ink at the top and sides of the panel.
Added White Gel pen highlights to the tree and the grasses.
Punched two word window punches from Basic Black card stock and cut the very end of them off.
Punched some flowers from cameo coral card stock.
Added Basic Black and Rose Red panels. Also added the punches and Barely Banana brads.
Here is the finished card measuring 5.5″ square.
I hope you are seeing mild tempatures and sunshine in your area also.
Until my next post. . . . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle
