Hello and welcome to Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - March challenge taking place right here on my blog! I'm so glad you stopped by to check out the new theme and hopefully you'll join in too! There were many lovely entries last month and I thank you all for playing along and sharing your crafty makes. Be sure to scroll down to see if you were one of my top picks!
This month's theme:
After a long (way too long!!) winter I think those of us in the Northern Hemisphere are all ready for spring, so for this month I selected the theme of....................
Spring is in the air
I stamped the image on Bristol Vellum and fussy cut. The birds and flowers were stamped, colored and fussy cut again separately.
Penny Black's Hypnotic stencil was used on the card front (also Bristol Vellum paper) with Blueprint Sketch ink. I used these blending brushes for a soft stencil design.
I did stamp the image again directly onto the card so I wouldn't have to fussy cut the birds' legs and tail feathers and then adhered my fussy cut image over this, birds and flowers with foam tape to make them pop up.
The sentiment is a real oldie from Stampin Up called Feathered Hope but one I will never part with as I find it so inspirational and hopeful.

I added some loose glitter over Tombow Mono Aqua glue to the flower centers and hearts, and then some white silk ribbon on top. A little inking around the edges before adhering to the card base finishes off the card.
