Spring

Hello crafters!
Thanks for dropping by my blog.  Today's post is a bit special as it is the first.  The blog is technically still under construction, but I just could not wait to share today's card with you.

handmade greeting card by Sally Hessenius featuring Fable Friends from Stampin' Up!




Created this card for the #30daycardmakingchallenge from Martin Stone of Martins Mayhem in the UK.  The card challenge is a great distraction from the current global pandemic COVID-19.  To escape from the stress and worry with all that is going on, I've been creating and crafting to keep calm and carry on.  If you would like to check out Martin's creation, just click on the picture below.




The Details

For this card, I used Granny Apple Green for the card base with a So Saffron mat.  The background image was created by sponging the blue sky with Balmy Blue and for the grassy meadow I sponged a bit of Granny Apple Green.   I used mirror image technique for the Mama duck and fussy cut them all after coloring them with Stampin' Up!'s alcohol Blends Markers.   Often in the Spring, it rains quite a bit so I added the cloud from the recent March 2020 No Matter the Weather Paper Pumpkin Kit.  Of course I had to use the rain drop embellishments to complete the scene.  The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings.   




Well that's all for today.  If you would like to shop any of the products I used to create this card, just click on the image below.
