Sunny Studio Stamps : Spring Fever Paper

 

Hello Crafty Friends! I hope you are having a great Spring season so far! I'm happy to be back on the blog sharing a brand new card inspiration featuring Sunny Studio Stamps' Spring Fever Paper . Bright cheerful colors, and an array of beautiful patterns of polka dots, and florals are among the features I absolutely love about this amazing 6x6  paper pack! I love the variety of papers that can be used all year round and for so many different occasions, makes this pack one of my favorites in my stash! Today, I paired the Spring Fever pattern papers with Sunny's adorable Looking Sharp Stamps  to create a fun and extra happy birthday card. 

To start, I cut an A2 sized base panel from 110 lb. Neenah Solar white heavyweight cardstock. I cut another A2 sized panel of rainbow pattern paper from the Spring Fever Paper. I adhered the pattern paper to my base using double sided tape adhesive to ensure the paper lay super flat without any bubbles. Then,  I cut out three circles using 2 different sized circle dies from a bright yellow polka dot paper. I played around with the placement of the circles before adhering them to my card front. 

Next, I stamped out all the adorable cacti images on watercolor paper using Antique Linen Distress Ink. I also used a birthday cupcake image from the Panda Party Stamps .  I then water colored my images using Faber-Castell watercolor pencils. I used the corresponding Looking Sharp Dies  to cut out the cacti images and used the Panda Party Dies to cut out the cupcake. I adhered all the images inside the yellow circles using double sided tape adhesive, and used small cuts of double sided foam strips to give the cupcakes dimension. 

Lastly, I stamped out my sentiment onto some banner strips and adhered them to the card, and presto! A super fun birthday card for any of your cacti and succulent loving friends or family! I certainly have many people in my life that are  huge fans of these prickly plants so this card will find a home soon! Thank you so much for joining me today friends! I hope I've inspired you to use more pattern papers in your creations! Until next week, stay safe and Happy Cardmaking!
