Spring Inspirations

The bird activity outside has increased greatly in the last few days (I just love hearing all the chirping) and that inspired this spring Get Well card. I used the Cuttlebug for embossing and cutting out the oval shapes and did a little stamping and colouring.

This is an Easter Egg card made for the Hero Arts Blog. There are five other beautiful eggs made by my fellow Apronettes, so take a peek at them here.

The background is a mixture of alcohol inks on vellum. On that I stamped and embossed some flower images and added ribbon, pearls and a glittery butterfly.
Thanks for stopping by!

  10. Hi, Sue! Two gorgeous masterpieces! I love the Get Well Soon card with the cheerful bluebird and the cute butterflies. We have a bluebird pair that come back to nest in our backyard year after year. The egg is truly beautiful, too! :-)
