Hello fellow stampers!   We have had such beautiful weather here in Ohio, but I’ve not had a chance to be outside this week, so this card represents that feeling.  Let’s start with the tutorial.

Supplies:

I’ve put away my brayer for today and decided to do this scene all in sponging. 🙂

Sponged So Saffron ink on 2/3 rd’s of a piece of Whisper White card stock.

Sponged Bashful Blue ink at top of card stock.

Used Post it notes as a mask to cover part of the card stock.

Stamped trees with Espresso ink.

Sponged Oregano ink on the trees to represent leaves.

Sponged Ginger ink under the trees.

Sponged Espresso ink at the horizon line (top of post it notes) and at the bottom of the leaves on the tree.

Removed post it notes.

Sponged on Ginger ink over some of the field.

Sponged Espresso ink over some of the ginger ink.

Punched an oval out of Old Olive card stock using the large oval punch.   Cut the top and bottom off of the oval.

Sponged Old Olive ink on left side of vase to create a shadow.

Punched flowers out of Blush Blossom and Purely Pomegranate card stock.

Colored the centers of the Blush Blossom Flowers with a Pretty in Pink marker.

Made dots in the very center of the flowers with a Rose Red marker.

Glued the vase and flowers to the scene.  I put the vase just off center in the scene.  This is more please to the eye.

Stamped side “A” of the marbling cube on So Saffron card stock using So Saffron ink.

Stamped side “C” of marbling cube with More Mustard ink.

Sponged Espresso ink lightly around edge of card stock.

Assembled card and here it is completed.

Hope you are able to go outside and enjoy some wonderful weather today.

Until tomorrow. . . . . . . . . .
