SPRING BRANCHES

Hello!


Added another flower and I think it’s better!




Playing along with the following challenges in no particular order:

this Inspiration Station challenge (ends 2/28).


UPDATE! 😊



and this Just Us Girls challenge (ends 2/25).


and this TGIF challenge (ends 2/26).


and Ellibelle’s Garden Party #12 challenge - anything in or from a garden
 (ends 3/9)

and Alphabet Challenge - V for volume (dimension) on a card (ends 3/6).

UPDATE! :o)
I got a mention as the Spotlight Winner!





I thought this die cut blue panel evoked a feeling of sky, without using one of my favorite scenic design elements - clouds - AGAIN. Maybe tomorrow 😂 The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in gold. Branch was die cut and colored and shaded as shown, colored with mini Waffleflower blender brushes and Distress Oxide inks. And to give a feeling of dimension I foam dotted the leaves. Flowers were shaped upwards slightly with soft foam mat and large ball flower shaper before gluing to branches.


SUPPLIES

sentiment stamp - unmarked secondhand set 
branch with flowers dies - Spellbinders Flowering Quince set
background panel die - Penny Black Antique Frame set



Thanks for stopping in today!
