Spring Woods



I broke out my new Spring Woods stamps and have two cards to share today.  My first card is inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #163 and the Sponged Stamping technique at Make it Monday #242.


I used Pure Poppy and Scarlet Jewel inks on the bird and Sweet Blush and Berry Sorbet inks on the flowers.


I cut up one of the branches to arrange things according to the sketch.




While I had everything aligned for my Misti, I stamped a few more birds and branches.


I am entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday A Bit O' Green and Addicted to Stamps and More #184 Clean and Simple.






Thanks for Visiting

    Awesome cards, Joyce! One would never know you used the same stamp set for both cards because they are so different. Great color choices. Keep telling myself I don't need Spring Woods but every time I see it used, I weaken a bit. There are so many now on my wish list it's just crazy.

    I used that stamp set from Laurie Willison at our craft get together a few weeks ago. It is so gorgeous. I am in love with every last detail of your cards.

    I'm terrified of birds (the ravens here are hippo-sized and far toooo clever!) but your cards here have me smiling! Lovely and filled with the promise of spring...
    Hugs~c
