Thinking of You Makes Me :)


Welcome and Happy Friday! I've got a really pretty spring feeling card that I made with the Sheena A Little Bit Sketchy that Crafter's Companion has. Let me say, it's a super fun set!!!!


I colored the flowers in with my Spectrum Noirs and cut around them leaving a slight white border. I also colored the leaves with the Spectrum Noirs as well and really, it's so easy to add beautiful shading to make them look realistic. I just love these markers.

I pulled some paper I had in my stash for the yellow (to match the yellow in the flower's center) and then the springy green floral print paper. I didn't have a huge piece of that, so to add some texture, I cut the paper into strips and glued them, slightly overlapping, to the yellow stock. 

I cut out the leaves with a Nestabilities die I have and lightly inked the edges with distress ink. Adds a little warmth and dimension.

The sentiment is from the new release, Crisalis. I love the classic fonts used in this series. Just beautiful. I cut that out with a round punch and glued to a piece of olive green corrugated paper I had in my stash. It's the beauty of working at a printing company and getting the discontinued paper swatch books!! LOVE. 

I snuck that under the popped up image. The kraft bird is from a package of pieces I bought at Micheal's in their cheapy bins. I just used some distress ink and spray mists to give it a little life. 
I hope you are inspired and be sure to check out all the products I mentioned on Crafter's Companion website HERE!
