Think Spring

Hello, Crafty friends; I have a spring card to share today.

I started with a panel of white cardstock and used a mask with some ink blending. I added a silhouette of wildflowers.

I die-cut the sentiment, added a layer of black cardstock to the panel, and adhered it with foam tape.


I used a pen to add a border, then finished the card with micro gems.

Supplies: White and black cardstock, Creative expressions- Think Spring and Wildflowers, gems.

I used two small punch outs from the paper pad and adhered them with foam tape. I added foam tape to the panel to adhere it to the card base.
