Welcome Little One

Hello friends!

I am in the process of figuring out where the last few months of blog posts went. But for now I have a  card welcoming a little one. This stamp set is called Swan Soiree from Lawn Fawn. 

To get the clouds look like a gradient. I masked off the edges of the white cardstock. Then ink blended the panel using very light blue inks. The bottom has more of a blue green hue. Using the Cloud stencil from Lawn Fawn, rotating it in a different direction and applying a darker blue hue. I like to use the ink blending brushes from Taylored Expressions, but you can use your favorite to achieve the same look. 

The swan and duck were stamped in black ink onto white cardstock and colored in with copic markers, and then set aside. 

The sentiment was stamped in black ink, the pond was stamped in a turquoise ink, and the plants were stamped in green ink. 

To finish the card, twine was tied around the front panel then adhered to the card front using foam adhesive, and the swans were added using foam adhesive as well. 

Head on over to the Lawn Fawn blog to participate in the March Inspiration Week. Leave a comment over there for a chance to win some great prizes!
