TCP Sneaky Peek #2: Hello Spring!

Hello there inky friends!  I'm back with DAY 2 of The Cat's Pajama's Sneaky Peek week!  You can find a full list of sneaks on the TCP Blog today.  Check it out HERE.  Today's sneak is of this most adorable little Springtime set called HELLO SPRING!  It's complete with all the little garden critters that will make your garden grow.  My card features the cute little snail with the flower kiddo sitting on top and a fun little garden scene for them to pass by.  

To create my card, I started out by stamping the little snail image and colored it using Copics and colored pencils.  I just kept grabbing markers so there are WAYY too many to list.  That's the fun I have with coloring- I don't plan any coloring, I just keep pulling markers and playing until I end up with something I'm satisfied with.  After coloring the snail driver (hee hee), I fussy cut it out ON THE LINES so that there was no white edge.  I used a gray Copic to trace around the edge so that you can't see the white core of my cardstock.  

After coloring and cutting out the snail, I stamped the scene onto white cardstock (Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Card #100) and used several green markers to create the grass.  I mounted the snail driver onto the panel and used a scrap of Lawn Fawn patterned paper along the bottom to finish it off.  I then added some "clouds" with a blending brush and some Wendy Vecchi ink. 

After mounting the stamped panel onto purple cardstock, I stamped the sentiment, added some foam squares and mounted it onto a dark green card base.  VOILA!  DONE!
