Spring Blossoms

Hello friends!  Just a short post to share one of the cards I'm featuring over on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog using the new Spring Blossoms stamp set available at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.  Tulips and daffodils are a sure sign that spring has arrived and now I can enjoy a little bit of spring until it actually arrives on the calendar!

Creative Nugget:  The tulips from the Spring Blossoms set were masked and colored with Copic Markers.  Some of them were stamped twice, fussy cut and popped up for dimension.  The split sentiment was added on pennant flags.  I couldn't resist adding a little stitching and a bow to finish off the card.  Easy, peasy, but pretty...don't you think?

This card will be submitted for the following challenges:

Through the Craft Room Door Challenge for Feb. 13th - Anything Goes

Alphabet Challenge Challenge Blog - X for Xtra Special Occasion

A Gem of a Challenge #213 - Spring Flowers

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Dear Friend

Hello Friends!  With all the ice and freezing temperatures we've been having, I am ready for Spring.  Since Spring is still a little more than a month away, I decided to create a little bit of Spring.

Creative Nugget: I found this background in my stash that was created with a stencil, Distress Oxide inks, and a little stamping using the Typewriter Text Background by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  I created a second panel using the same colors to coordinate with the background.  Both panels were cut with SB Matting Basics dies.  A pair of daffodils from the new Spring Blossoms stamp set just released by SNSS was colored with Copic Markers and cut with my ScanNCut.  Part of the sentiment from the same set was white embossed on a hand cut banner. The design for the card was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketch for this week.

This card will also be submitted for the following Challenges:
