Hoppy Spring with Kate Hadfield Designs

 

Hello everyone!  A little more spring inspiration coming at you today using

Springity Spring Digital Stamp Set

Nothing says spring like flowers, frogs and sunny days!  Let me show you

how I made this card.  I composed my card panel in the computer and

printed it out onto white card stock.  I flipped, angled and layered the

flowers for more variation - one of wonderful things you can do with

digital stamps!  I also die cut the panel at this point.

Although I didn't know what direction I would be headed in to complete

my card, I find that die cutting my panel helps me to visualize the

final card and it's just easier to maneuver.  The die I used was for a

full 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card panel.  I also die cut the sentiment using

a banner die from my stash.

I started my coloring...not getting overly fussy and keeping the colors

bright and happy!

This images are fairly simple so coloring was very easy.

Copic colors used:  YG00, YG11, YG23, YG17, Y11, Y15, Y17, Y02,

C1, C3, C5, B000, BV000, G82, G94, G85, E93, E71, E95, E81 and E85.

I was still unsure at this point what I was going to do for the background so

I added glitter glue to the bumble bee wings and yellow body parts, the

sun's rays, the centers of the flowers, the spots on the frog and the shell

of the snail.  I decided to do soft ink blending with a cloud stencil for

the sky and just some green around the bottom.

I backed the sentiment banner with a piece of soft yellow glitter paper.

I liked how the yellow looked so much, I cut down the panel so it was

4" x 5 1/4" and placed it on my card base that I had covered with the

yellow glitter card stock.  I added some tiny butterfly sequins around the

flowers and that finished my card!

I hope this has inspired you to make a happy card as spring is right

around the corner!  Find this stamp set and many others at
