Colorful Seasons - all seasons frame project!

I have had this frame for years and finally found a use for it!  This stamp set and dies bundle inspired me to create a 4 seasons project from it.  

I started with a color wash and emboss resist technique for the winter scene. 

I used thick Whisper White card stock and my aqua-painter to wash blue and green ink across the paper.  I let it dry and stamped a few snowflakes in Versamark ink.  I heat embossed them with White embossing powder.  Then I tore another piece of White CS for the snowy hills.  There are a few die-cut White snowflakes added to the top too. 

For the spring frame I used Powder Pink as the background and die-cut the branch and flowers and grass using the thinlits included in the bundle. I sponged an extra bit of Pink to the flower centers.  Easy!

This summer piece is all stamping without any die-cuts.  This stamp set is so versatile isn't it?? The background paper is from the Color Theory DSP stack.

For the fall frame background I sponged Pumpkin and Crushed Curry ink over my White card stock. The leaves are die-cut from the beautiful Color Theory DSP and of course there's a White adirondack chair to finish it off.
