Hi friends! It’s Christina and today I’m sharing some springtime inspiration for Easter Theme Week here at PPP! I used the Spring Chicks stamp set to create an adorable little scene against the new Watercolor Oval Stencil. I had so much fun creating this card and I can’t wait to share all the details with you. Let’s get started!

My first step was to create the background on an A2 white cardstock panel. I used the Watercolor Oval Stencil and the Pawsitively Saturated Inks listed above to ink blend a soft, watery backdrop for the stamped images. After stenciling, I splattered it with plain water to add a watery texture to the ink blending. Then I added a little puddle of water using the stamp in the Spring Chicks set, stamping it with the Seafoam ink color and then using a Copic marker to fill it in.

Next, I stamped the images for my scene and colored them with Copic markers. Then I die cut them with the coordinating dies and stacked plain die cuts behind the die cut images to give them more substance and stability. 

Using the stamped and die cut images, I built the scene on the stenciled background panel using liquid adhesive, thin foam squares, and regular foam squares. I layered the images and used varying heights of adhesive to give the scene plenty of dimension and perspective. The last steps were to add a greeting and white gel pen highlights. I heat embossed the greeting with white embossing powder on white cardstock, die cut it with the coordinating die, and then ink blended it just like the stenciled background before attaching it to the card. 

And that finishes up this adorable springtime scene featuring the Spring Chicks stamp set.

You’ll find inspiration all week on the PPP blog that will be sure to inspire your Easter and spring-themed craft projects. See you soon!
