Happy Spring Cards by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning lovelies.

Today I would like to show you two 15 minutes cards using water coloring on them. 

They are super easy to make and really fun to give to someone that appreciates handmade cards. 

For these cards I used just plain white & black card stock, three dies, a sponge and Lindy's spray.  Normally I am not such a fan of clean & simple but I think I am getting the hang of it.  But no worries, I will be designing like I always have been doing - these are just for fun. 

Happy Spring: 

   First I cut out the card stock at the right sizes and then found my colors for the butterfly.  If you look closely you will see that I cut them out twice in two different colors and layered them on top of each other. I wanted the teal colors to come back in the back ground and for the pink I used "Poppin' Pink by Lindy's Stamp Gang. 

I just sponged them on the background and later on gave it some splatters to finish it of. I made the words out of black card stock and at the end I made a stitch border with a pen. Because I am so happy spring is in town at where I live I used those particular words on my cards.
