I needed a quick new home card last week - this is what I came up with.
The kraft card base came from a huge rigid envelope that was supplied with the calendar we got for our kitchen this year. Obviously we weren't sending it anywhere so I chopped up the envelope for crafting :o)
I love coloured pencils on kraft cardstock and I thought it would give a nice look to the eggs in this nest - a quick and simple card, appropriate for a spring move of house!
It's a small one layer card (10.5cm square) with just a touch more interest added by embossing a frame for the image with a Nestie.
Stamps: Nest and sentiment both CHF (retired)
Paper: Kraft
Ink: Adirondack by Ranger (Espresso)
Other:
Prismacolor pencils
Nestabilites by Spellbinder (Large Square)
Thanks for stopping by, hope you're all having a lovely Easter weekend!
