Hey There,
Don’t you just love the Stampin’ Up! set, Nature Walk? It is in my top 5 of most loved Stampin’ Up! sets ever. Really, bird, bee, butterfly, eggs, and plants, LOVE IT!!!
The bird is easy to color and that makes for a quick scene and that is exactly want I did in today’s card tutorial. I think this bird is saying “come on Spring!” My heart is singing it also, lol.
I’ve been busy, busy, busy starting my garden seeds and making hand crafted natural soaps. Fun stuff! So many hobbies so little time. I did get tickled at a comment I received on facebook. Someone was afraid I had quite stamping since I was talking about gardening. Boy oh boy, thank goodness I can have more than one hobby. In actuality I have about 50 hobbies, grin. I love paper crafting and can’t imagine living without it. Anyone else feel that way? Just imagine if something happened and you couldn’t paper craft, shiver. . . . .
Any how, my tutorial for today is below, enjoy!

Added more Crumb Cake marker to the the dark areas of the bird’s wing.
Sponged Baja Breeze ink around the bird to create the sky. Sponged Always Artichoke ink at the very bottom of the card stock.
