Hello Spring (say what now?)

Confused over my blog post title? Lol. Well, it's just that I've made a card entitled Hello Spring, yet it's Autumn here in Aus. Could be I'm 'ahead of my time' (yeah, nah 😂) or more likely I've just gotten so used to challenges based on the northern hemisphere seasons! As long as I don't start actually thinking it's Spring here, it's all good, yeah? 🤞

Anywho, today's card was created for three challenges:

• Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - add texture
• Color Throwdown #737 - pink, green and rust
• Freshly Made Sketches #580

 

And here's my card

The texture is in inking techniqes (smooshing, splatters and layers of colour from different mediums), heat embossing and dry embossing. 

I had so much fun colouring and assembling all these little pieces - it was certainly a most enjoyable way to spend a cool and rainy autumn day!

Materials used:

• stamps - Entomology (Tim Holtz), Bitty Buzzwords: Seasons (Honey Bee Stamps)
• card - very vanilla, cinnamon cider, watercolour, vellum
• distress inks and crayons - spun sugar, kitsch flamingo, shabby shutters, peeled paint, rusty hinge
• dies - Curio: Spring Findings (The Greetery), Bitty Buzzwords: Seasons (HBS)
• other - Versamark ink, antique linen embossing glaze, heat tool, pinewood planks embossing folder (SU), sponge dauber, Big Shot, Dimensionals, water brushes, craft foam, water spritzer, tweezers, cajun craze marker (SU)

I hope you get to spend some fun time creating this long weekend too! Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
