Crocus Card Tutorial

Hello friends! I hope you are well. The weather is getting warmer here and spring flowers are starting to appear. Most of the ice is gone from the paths where I like to take my walks.

I love crocus flowers and although I haven't seen one yet this year, they will be out soon. The theme of my card is the brightness of spring, with bright flowers on a brown background. I also used a cheerful sentiment stamp.

The background is very quick. Ink the Simon Says Stamp Reverse Crackle Background with Latte, Cappuccino and Mocha inks, in three horizontal strips. Stamp on white paper.

Add dots as highlights with a white gel pen.

Cut the flowers out and glue on the background. I like the look of colored pencils over old book papers or vintage papers.

I also splattered yellow and purple Scribble Sticks on the background and added Design Tape and sequins.
