Longing for spring

Snow over here, but I’m so much longing for spring! So when I created a birthday card for my SIL, I reached for this beautiful stamp by Penny Black to bring some sweet cherry blossoms and singing birds into my craft room.

I applied the colors directly onto the rubber with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, then spritzed the stamp with water and stamped it onto heavy mixed media paper. I painted a bit of blue between the twigs for a background and sprinkled turquoise Brusho over the image with my Tim Holtz Splatter Brush.
