Making A Spring Card Tutorial

Ok friends, we all know that I make hand made cards and sell them on my Etsy shop, right? It's in that Etsy scrolly thingy on the right....But, today I thought I'd share with you the making of a new spring card. Great for spring, Easter....or just a hello.

Supplies
inks
cardstocks
stamp
colored pencils
ribbon

Alrighty then, let's go!

First we ink our stamp. I used a brown


Next we apply the stamp to white cardstock.



Next we're goin to color the stamp. I used pastel colors, colored lightly and did not color everything.


Then we cut out the image.


Now we'll choose coordinating papers to mount the image on. I chose brown, pink and blue cardstock, no patterned image to conflict with the beautiful bird's nest. Then I used adhesives to put all of the layers together.



I added a lovely Spring stamp, and some thin pink ribbon wrapped several times.....




Don't forget to mark your cards as your own!!



And there you have it, a simple, lovely Spring card. I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial and can use it to make many cards of your own. If not, keep an eye on my shop for lots of Spring, Easter, and Mother's Day cards coming soon.
