Spring Cards with Anita Bownds

hi everyone,

Anita Here 

well as i live in Australia we are in Autumn now and have had lots of wet weather so it almost looks like spring with all the new shoots on flowers and trees and the butterfly's going crazy over the flowers 

so our lovely theme this month is spring 

so im sharing a few spring cards using Susan K. Weckesser  Unity Stamps

my first thought was butterflys and flowers so i had this lovely paper from studio calico lemon lush

  and a big light purple prima flower that i pulled apart and then i stamped A Little Grunge Love heart stamp on a bit of whit card stock with pink ink and used a pop dot to pop it up and added a bit of glitter ribbon from may arts 

  

 and here is my second card i used the Le Mason house stamp

i stamped it on 2 bits of patterned paper and fussy cut the house apart the roof,flowers and door and used a craft knife on the windows 

 

 and i added a few sequins and a flower

Feels like Home....

As I wrote the title of the post, I had to pause at how perfect that title was.

This team and Susan feel like home to me. :)

Today, I want to share with you this 8x10 canvas I made using Susan's Stamps for Unity and paper from Studio Calico.

The hills were made by cutting, stamping and then shading the green grid paper from Studio Calico. I actually used plain, old Sharpie markers for the shading on the hills.

For the fence, I used the fence part of the house stamp and stamped it three times on the brown grid paper. 

To Make the house, I stamped the house numerous times on different patterns of paper and then cut them out. I used the polka dot paper for the base and just layered the other pieces on top.

My "sun" is actually a foam stamp flower from Claudia Hellmuth that I stamped with yellow modeling paste and added some doodles (just for fun!)

My clouds are made with gelatos by Faber-Castell through a circle stencil. 

The Studio Calico paper was perfect with the lines flowed because it looked like sun-rays!

I hope you enjoyed my little project today and remember to take time every day to be creative!

XOXO,
