OK, I know this isn't your typical spring image, but here in rural Indiana it is a sure sign of Spring when the farmers fire up the tractors and start to plow! I don't have any stamping bella images so I went with what I had that said "spring" to me!
I began by stamping my image in Stazon. I then laid a square over and lightly scored alongside my out of the box part and in the corners. I then flipped my card stock over and scored my square omitting the part I'd left blank. I scored another frame around the first. I masked off the square and sponged in the sky. I wet a brush and pulled ink from lids to wash in the grass and start my tractor. I added a second green with the brush. I used markers to color the tires and add some extra grass.I sponged some Suede over the score lines to help them show up better. Stamped my sentiment, framed with a tiny black frame and then put it onto a card base.

Beautiful job on your coloring and scoring technique! Thanks for sharing the idea of this. We are not farmers but do own land. This tractor is DH's dream equipment! Wonderful card!
