Hello friends! Don't you just love Spring? We've had such a glorious week here...wonderful weather, birds chirping, flowers blooming, time to create! Saturday has come again and that means it's time for another challenge at The Sweet Stop!
Inspirational Nugget: Spring...what a perfect picture of how God works in our lives. He takes the dormant, barren, winter times of our lives and brings forth new growth and a fresh outlook...Sorrow may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning! (Psalm 30:5) Praise the Lord!
My sample for today was made with Spring in mind!
Creative Nugget: Hearing the birds chirping outside my crafting place caused me to reach for this adorable clear stamp set by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, "One of a Kind." I followed the sketch for this week pretty closely. The image is colored with copic markers, cut out, and adhered to an oval nestie sponged with some clouds. The colors were inspired by Bridget's "Hump Day" challenge on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Forum at SCS which was to use aqua and red. My aqua was more turquoise, but I really liked this combination...it's so cheerful! The patterned paper was by My Mind's Eye and was perfect for the sketch and color challenge!
And keeping with the bird theme, here is the Christmas version:
All of the samples by the Sugar Babies this week are fabulous...aren't they always! Be sure to stop by and see all of them!
I hope you have a chance to enjoy Spring wherever you are this weekend, and can find some stamping time to capture a bit of Spring! Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
Hugs,
Cathymac
