I've managed to get some 'Porcelain' 6 x 6 paper pads at last!! so i've used those on my card today.........To make my background i've used a weaving technique that i first saw demonstrated on T.V. by Anna Griffin...............I've cut two of the papers into strips 3/4" wide and weaved them together, gluing just at the edges............there is no need to glue in the centre, it just holds together! Once everything was secure i cut my square to fit my card front. The Dk Green is Bazzill and i've doodled some dots with my Inkssentials pen.
The tree image is from Great Impressions and i've given it some 'buds' with a Ranger paint dabber in Lettuce using the end of a ball tool. It was inked with a 'peeled paint' Distress pad.
Making Memories tiny alphas for the wording and ribbon and flowers from stash.
Have you noticed that lots of the trees and bushes are all 'budding up' and the birds are all of a flutter! (if you know what i mean!!).....................i LOVE springtime!!Thanks for your visit today and hey it's Friday!.................waahoooo! ;-D
