Spring Bringer

Hello stampin' friends!  We've been enjoying some wonderful weather here...it's beginning to feel a lot like spring!  The daffodils are blooming and the buds on the magnolia tree are close to opening!  Hope you've had a pleasant week as well!  It's Saturday and that means it's time for some stamping fun at The Sweet Stop.  Since it's the third Saturday of the month, today's sketch has a spin..."Show me your GREEN."  I hope you'll decide to play along because a $15 prize for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps will be awarded to one lucky participant.


With that being said, green happens to be my favorite color!  I have to admit though, that I struggled with this sample...couldn't seem to find the right papers or image to fit the sketch...has that ever happened to you? I did take some liberties with the sketch this week, something I don't usually do.  All in all, I do like the end result!  CMC Copic Challenge #39, open until March 30th, is "Anything Goes," so I will be entering this card in that contest as well!

Creative Nugget:  This adorable digital image, "Spring Bringer," is from Wee Stamps and was colored with copic markers.  A curvy rectangle nestie was used to cut her out...not the square called for in the sketch.  The papers for each panel are from the Sweet Threads paper pad by BasicGrey and mounted on an old retired SU! color...Forest Foliage.  Everything was stitched to a Wild Wasabi card base.  A classic ric rac edgeability, some ribbon, pearls, and a little layered flower were added to finish the card.  The sentiment, from the Rose Collage clear stamp set by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, was switched from the right side to the left...it just seemed to fit better there.  Some stickles was also added to this little sprite's wings!


Be sure to stop by the other Sugar Babies for some wonderful inspiration and have fun with the sketch!  Be sure to use the linky tool at The Sweet Stop to upload your sample to be eligible for the prize!
