Signs of Spring (Feb WSON)

 

 

 Hello

and welcome  to my little crafting place! 

Well, we made it through January (just about) and althopugh not my favourite month, at leas in February the days are getting longer and there are little shoots of hope apopearing in the gardens

The February Wax seal of the Month from Spellbinders celebrates this hope, with a lovely, leafy seal to use on our projects.

I teamed it with dies from one of SB's January releases;

 'Vivid Expressions Collection'

For this card I used Seal no.2 from the set shown below. The seal was stamped into the copper-peach coloured wax and the image highlighted  with gold and green marker pens.  I actually used a couple of different gold pens on the flower

The card blank was inked with copper then the pale aqua panel added. 

 I used:

February Wax seal of the Month

Vivid Blooms Etched Dies 

from the Vivid Expressions Collection.

 

 Sentiment from  February Glimmer of the Month 

White card blank, plus extra card for panel

More  scraps of white card inked in shades of lilac and yellow for the flowers and green for the stems

Lilac twine and pearls

 

More exaamples of this seal

Some of these are simply the seal stamped into wax and colour added afterwards using pens

most are 2 layers, using the pour and scrape technique for the first (leafy) layer, with excess wax scraped off using a hot scraping tool.  The seal, with the leafy design still in it, is then stamped into another pouring of wax

Extra colours are added with pens
