Storytime Scene


"I wish you bluebirds in the spring, to give your heart a song to sing."


I'm playing along with two challenges with the above card.

I knew I wanted to try out some no line coloring and make a celebratory card for the Lawnscaping Challenge #124: Celebration...so I pulled out some Lawn Fawn critters from the Into the Woods set, stamped them in Antique Linen Distress Ink and used PrismaColor Colored Pencils to color them in. I was really drawn to the colors from showcased at The Card Concept 49, but I went more muted, to match the storybook theme.

I fussy cut all the critters and adhered them onto a simply colored landscape that had been cut into a scalloped and stitched circle-the circle is raised with foam tape as is the bird.
The scene was then mounted to a card base with a patterned paper panel, and then I stamped, colored and fussy cut the sentiment banner.

I'm also really enjoying coloring everyday...on a mission to participate everyday for The Daily Marker's 30 Day Coloring Challenge. I have some snippets of my coloring on my Instragram (the link is on the sidebar).
