Flowers Box card

Good morning from another snowy day in northern Wisconsin!

I wanted to share a box card I recently made.  This is the card closed.

The background is made with white tissue paper on tan card stock.  I then stamped the flowers with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and colored them in with water color pencils and blended with water.  This card is held closed with a punched border strip that has small pieces of Velcro on the back.

 

When the card is opened, the box is revealed!

I used punched circles to create the birds and their wings are made with stamped flower parts cut out and attached to the back of the birds.  The fence is made using a Martha Stewart border punch and then scored on my Martha Stewart score board.  Using my Cuttlebug and a die, I punched the sentiment from a paint chip.  I finished it off by adding some flowers that I received from a new friend.

I am entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp Challenge APRIL SHOWERS AND/OR SPRING FLOWERS

 I wonder if SNOW showers would have qualified...?

 





Stamping and Watercolors

I made this card yesterday - along with 5 others like it.  Easy to do assembly line style and makes up a quick set of note cards.

The background is made using Distress Inks and the background stamp is done by stamping off first and then stamping the card.  After letting it dry thoroughly, the 3 flowers are stamped with Versa Mark and then embossed in white.  The flowers were then water colored.

Using the same technique, I made these too.

This is a fast, fun, easy technique.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenge The Robyn’s Fetish challenge # 152 – Must use Green
