I Spy With My Little Eye #2

Hi everyone, it’s the 3rd Wednesday of the month, which means it’s time for a new I Spy … challenge over at my blogging friend Ellie’s blog Ellibelle's Corner. After my stint as Guest Designer for challenge #1 she has asked me to be co-designer - woo hoo and thank you!! 🥰, so here I am again with a sample card. 

Without further ado this month’s theme is… 

I Spy With My Little Eye … April Showers or May Flowers

I decided to go with flowers, and to create a bright and vibrant meadow flower scene. This card was actually made to cheer up a close friend and her husband, who were both poorly a couple of weeks ago with Covid  having managed to swerve it for the past 3 years, so I wanted it to be bright and happy colours! I needed it to be in the mail quickly so my photo isn't the best, but here it is.

I stamped my flowers and grasses plus little birds using a variety of colours of Versafine Clair with mostly 1st generation but also some 2nd generation stamping, then coloured the meadow flower heads and highlighted the dandelions and birds with Sakura Stardust pens. I stamped my sentiment, added a teeny heart gem, then edged the panel with black marker pen and matted onto bright  turquoise card stock and my card base. Very simple really, though a bit fiddly with all the different ink colours.

Here’s a closeup of the sparkly flowers.

Stamps: Lavinia Summer Meadow Flowers, Field Grass, Leaf Spray, Fairy Dandelions, Flower Collection, Bird Collection; Sentiment - Crafter’s Companion Sharing Positivity;
