How can it be February, already? I wanted to make a Spring card for the Art Impressions Watercolor Weekend and thought the 5435 Foundations Potting Bench would be perfect for it. Stamp the bench inked in Memento London Fog ink using a Misti or similar stamp platform. Stamp the bunnies from the 4874 inked in the Tombow 969. Stamp the bird nest and bird from the 4874 Bunnies Set inked in 969. Use the 4051 Foliage Set 1 to stamp grass in some of the pots, inked in 177. Stamp the flowers from the 5474 inked in 177 and 993. Stamp the flowers from the 5475 inked in 755 and 249. Use the 993 on the tips of the tulips and to color in the hat. The leaves under the hat are from the 5418 Bible Foliage Set 2 inked in 249. Color the containers/pots from the top left to right down to the bottom row in 565, 993, 969, N45, 249, 379, N45, and 969. The birdhouse roof is 969, the pink is 755 and the bottom is 177. Darken the holes with the blue TwinTone pen. The bird is colored in 969 and 755. The eggs are colored in 565 and then use the Tombow TwinTone blue pen fine tip to add dots to the eggs. The bunnies are colored in 969, N45 and the middle one is a combo of 969 and 565. The ears are colored in with 772. Use a fine tip black pen to darken their eyes, noses and draw whiskers. The potting bench is colored in with 969 and the shadows and sky are colored with 565. The last thing I did was add the Kendra dots from the 5418 Bible Foliage Set 2 inked in 177 all around. Use the 5063 A2 Double Stitched Dies to cut it out and for the background piece.
