Our challenge for you at Sweet Stampin this week is Mellow Yellow - signs of spring. We've had a mixed bag for sure this week with the weather - glorious warmth and then the next day hailstones! Poor old flowers and birds and insects - they must wonder what on earth is going on.
My card today uses a few stamp sets - the background is from SU called Timeless Textures and I've inked it in SU Crushed Curry, stamped off Berry Burst and Pool Party. The sentiment is from a spring set of stamps I have from an old magazine. The butterfly is from SU thinlets and the flowers are punched out of an old punch by Martha Stewart! Yes, it's that old. I've added a touch of SU Bronze Thread behind the butterfly and added some embellishments to the flowers.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment - I'm looking forward to seeing all your lovely Spring cards.
Look at this cute little robin - I love him - I've found I don't have an awful lot of stamps that I can actually colour in and saw this Little Robin from Wild Rose Studios and thought he would fit the bill.
I'm using him for the challenge over at CAS Colours and Sketches #295 this week which is the following sketch
I used some SU colours to colour in my robin - an old SU colour called Real Rust, Cherry Cobbler for his hat, Soft Suede and Going Gray. I used a Wink of Stella for all the white parts so that they shine a little bit. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from Merry Patterns. I used grey card stock and added some red and grey ribbon to the background.
As this is a CAS card I stopped myself from adding any extra bits and left him alone. I think he will be making some more appearances though!
