• Tim holtz ‘fossilised Amber & wild honey’ distress oxide ink pad

To make this card I firstly created my background. I cut a piece of white cardstock and used distress oxide ink to make an ombré effect. I used a embossing folder to add texture and pattern. I glued this onto a kraft card blank.

I Used a piece of Neenah card to stamp and colour my image. I then die cut this, I also die cut a piece of kraft cardstock and layered this at an angle to match the sketch. I glued both pieces onto the card blank to finish.

I inked up a piece of white card, blending the three colours together. I then die cut this to create the frame. I centred the image stamp on the card blank and coloured it with copics. I added the frame to the card using foam for dimension. I completed the card with glitter pen on the flowers and glaze pen on the eyes. I've kept this one nice and simple to make the most of the fresh spring colours and cute image.

• Paper artsy JOFY stamp- 'jm29'

• Watercolour cardstock 
• 6x4 card blank 
• wink of stella glitter pen - 'clear'

I die-cut a panel of cardstock and inked it with an ombre effect. I stamped little snowflakes all over to complete the background, using 2nd generation towards the top portion for a softer colour. I stamped and die-cut my sentiment. I then stamped my image once onto the background and once onto some spare cardstock. I water-coloured the image using distress inks and fussy cut it out. I used a black brush marker on the cut edges to define them. I then added them onto the card using foam, making sure they lined up with the strings to look as though they were hanging. I added glitter to the flurry & Christmas words to complete.
