Happiness Grows

Hello Ai fans!

It's finally starting to feel like Spring here in Florida.  That's unusual because it's usually hot here by now.  I'm not complaining because I love it when it's warm with cooler evenings.  I've been enjoying having a reason to finally create Spring cards.  Today I used Cottage and Die Set 4746 with WC Sentiments Set 4903 for my card.

I stamped the cottage onto Bristol paper using Onyx Black Versafine Ink.  Then I lined up the matching dies for the window and door and cut them with my die cut machine.  I wanted my card to look Springy, so I kept my colors very light.  I colored the entire image in two layers of color with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers spreading the color out with a brush.  Once everything was dry, I cut the cottage out with my detail scissors. I cut the fence from the WC Fence Die 4967 from Bristol paper and colored it with the English Lavender marker and set it aside to dry. I stamped Happiness grows from the WC Sentiments Set 4903 onto a cloud die cut from Bristol paper with Onyx Black Versafine Ink.

For the grass, I colored my Olive Green Marvy LePlume II marker onto a Watercolor Palette and used a brush to add color to the bottom of a piece of Canson XL watercolor paper. I used Prussian Blue from the Watercolor Palette and my brush  to add cloud shapes along the top of the paper. I attached a piece of Kioshi paper from Basic Gray to my note card before I attached the piece of Canson paper to it with foam tape.  I added in some tiny punched flowers from patterned paper scraps then added gems to their centers.
