Colouring Hey Girlfriend For A Handmade Spring Card with A Wreath
Welcome to Mitosu Crafts UK, thanks for stopping by. It’s Jay Soriano here with my DT inspiration for The Spot creative challenge. Colouring Hey Girlfriend from the Mini Catalogue for a Spring card idea.
The Spot Creative Challenge #155
The Spot design team creates Stampin’ Up! inspirations for a weekly card making challenge every Tuesday. The theme this week is ‘Spring Has Flung’. So create spring related projects and submit your creations at The Spot blog.
Welcoming Spring with a Wreath Card
For my Spring card, I decided to mix Wreath Builder Dies with one of the Hey Girlfriend image and sentiment.
The die cuts were easily coloured in Mint Macaron and Flirty Flamingo inks with the smooshing technique. This was achieved by dabbing ink on Silicone Craft Sheet, spritz water and then lay the die cuts on top. I added the splatters of Just Jade ink on the embossed layer using the fine tip Water Painter.
I always enjoy colouring with the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers and will be running an Online Colouring Masterclass with the Hey Girlfriend stamp set in April – more info HERE
