Keeping it simple for spring

This is part of my self-imposed Limited Supply Challenge – to make a card for each season using minimal supplies. No ribbon, no embellishments, no punches. No fancy techniques or special equipment.

It was very hard to hold back from adding other elements to this card but I wanted to show that you don't necessarily need a shedload of supplies to get stamping. In fact, all you need to make this card, and the others that are coming soon, is one stamp set, black ink, some cream cardstock and a pack of assorted Earth Elements cardstock. All these supplies can be ordered from me for less than £30. You can colour the images with coloured pencils or any markers or felt tips.

As it's a beautiful spring-like day today, I'm starting with spring. I think Cameo Coral and Old Olive are very springy and I added some Creamy Caramel to pick up the tree trunk.
