A Blast From the Past, Spring Pansies.

Hello there,

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend whatever you are doing.   It is rather dull here today with the odd light snow shower here and there, mustn't complain , as it could be a lot worse.  I have to keep reminding myself we are still only in February lol!

Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my last blog and for taking the time to check out my blog.   I do hope you enjoyed your visit.   Today I would like to share a card with you which I made for Sue & Harvey of Imagination Craft's, way back in 2011,  seems so long ago now.   I used one of their very pretty Decoupage stamp sets which unfortunately are no longer available.   Some of you may have purchased this stamp at the time.   Hopefully this card will remind us of the beautiful Spring days ahead.

 

     
Using some blue card, make a five and a half inch square base card.   Matt a square of lemon card onto the base card, leaving a narrow border of the blue showing.   Next, matt a slightly smaller square of blue glitter card onto the lemon.   Lay the summer blossom stencil onto a smaller square of white card and using a blending tool or piece of cut 'n' dry foam, and the Milled lavender, Forest moss and Yellow straw Distress Inks colour the white card through the design.   Remove the stencil and glue this card to the blue glitter card, using Magi-bond glue.

Cut a narrow strip of white card and colour with a yellow Promarker pen.   Stamp the leaf spray from the pansy decoupage stamp set, onto the yellow strip, using a black ink pad.   Glue this to a slightly larger strip of blue card and fix to the left-hand side of the base card.   Colour the leaves with a green Promarker pen.

  
Next stamp the main pansy image 7 times onto some white card using a black ink pad.   Colour with Promarker pens,  leaving one image whole,  cut out and 3D the others. 

   

3D the other cut- out images onto the whole image, using sticky foam pads or silicone glue.

Fix the 3D image at an angle, to the front of the base card.   Next die-cut a corner from blue card, using the Nellie Snellen set of Multi frame dies no. MFD 027.   Glue this corner to the bottom right corner of the main image.

  
Add a ribbon bow to the top left corner of the pansy image and this card is now finished.    

    
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog, enjoy the rest of your weekend and I will be back again soon
