Growing Green Lattice Window

 I miss the beautiful colours of spring and the revitalizing shades of green and blue found in my backyard during the "non winter" months. I am pleased with the results of this card I designed for the April stamp club.

I cut a window out of my card front slightly smaller than the lattice I cut with my Lattice bigz die (115958) and Big Shot Die Cutting Machine (113439) out of Whisper White Cardstock (100730). I stamped the leaf image of the Growing Green Stamp Set (118758 wood, 120624 clear) with Garden Green Ink (102272) on Bashful Blue Cardstock (105120). I filled in the leaves with my Garden Green watercolour crayon from the Regals collection (119803) and an Aqua Painter (103954). I glued the lattice to the painted Bashful Blue cardstock and attached it to the inside of the window. On Daffodil Delight cardstock (119683) I stamped the flower images with Versa Mark (102283) and embossed with Silver Embossing Powder (109131) and a Heat Tool (100005). I spritzed the cardstock with water and touched the pools of water with an Aqua Painter and some ink from  Pumpkin Pie Ink Refill (105229). Once the flowers were dry I cut them out. I cut some small leaves with the Big Shot and Little Leaves Sizzlets Die (114511) from Wild Wasabi Cardstock (108641) . I stamped a sentiment with Marina Mist Ink (119668) and arranged the flowers and leaves on the card front.
