Happy Spring Birthday

 As it's the Easter holidays I thought I'd schedule a few posts to show some of the cards I made before I had to pack away most of my stash.

This first card is a very simple one, just an Alex Syberia digital stamp, some Copic colouring and a heat embossed sentiment.  

I stayed with a palette of Spring yellows using Copics, starting with the lightest (Y00) all over to get some colour down.  I then used Y11, Y13, Y15 and Y17, starting where the petals would be darkest and gradually fading out to  Y11 at the tip of each petal.  Y19 and a bit of Y38 helped to deepen the shadows where necessary.

I heat embossed the sentiment from Altenew's Birthday Greetings set on some black card which I then die cut into a slim fishtail strip.

I'll admit to treating myself to a few of Alex Syberia's digi stamps lately.  I like the fact that I can make them any size and they're not cluttering up the kitchen if they're on my computer!

Hope you're having a great start to the week.
