hello crafty stampers!
It's time for the colours challenge at CAS Colours and sketches and Valérie has proposed a very happy group of colours.
A big inspiration for this card was Chris Stokes and her card layouts. Her cards are always lovely, usually cas, and quite simple and elegant. Do find her on YouTube @chrissieannie - her videos are excellent!
I began by lightly stencilling the background in a neutral colour. The vines, grass and flowers were die cut and watercolored. I used very watered down ink for the overall colour with a stronger blend for the details and centre of the flowers and leaves. The ladder was die cut, stacked twice and roughly ink blended with a neutral colour.
I had fun winding the vines around the ladder - springtime is lovely, isn't it?
Thanks so much for stopping by today and we hope to see your card in our gallery!
