Spring Flowers and DT Call!

Over at Craft a Scene we are having a new design team call along with our Spring Flowers challenge.  The DT position is a 4 month term, you need to have a blog and love to make scenic projects.  Team members make 2 projects per month and comment on entries. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please email me at the email address found on the Craft a Scene blog.  The deadline for entering the DT Call is May 31st.


For my "Spring Flowers" card this week I tried a few new techniques.  First, I stamped the Old Mill 063G from Stampscapes onto my new Cryogen White Cardstock (purchased from Tanya at Peddlers Den at the Savanna retreat). Then I colored the scene with my new PanPastels (I bought a starter pack from Karen Wallace and a few other colors from a store near me). I really like the look of the PanPastels.  The color goes on very smooth and does not fade like other inks.

Next, I tapped in Copic Opaque White paint in the shape of clouds (a new technique I learned at the retreat from Lynette).  I added a little grey PanPastel to give definition to the clouds.  Lastly, I added dots of color to look like flowers in the grass using a few Copic colors - V06, R85, RV29, Y17.
