Three Cards of Spring!

My cards are all about spring today! And to match my creations (or maybe it's the inspiration for!) - it's already 57 degrees here and bright and sunny! (after having 7" of new snow at the beginning of the week - this warmth is something to shout about!)

The inspiration challenge on Split Coast from Stef was a website called Spunky Sprouts. This wall decor was what inspired my imagination today.And this is the card I created. I kept it simple like the sample - I stamped the tree top, colored it with copics and cut it out.I stamped the tree on the white panel then adhered the tree top over it with foam dimensionals having the edges go 'out of the box' a bit. The stamps are all from H&M Stamps . The tree is from a new set called Seasons of Trees and the sentiment is from a sentiment set called A Time of Caring (retired).

I was so inspired by this site today that I made a second card for the inspiration challenge. The simplicity of this pretty pillow also caught my eye.

For this card I clear embossed the images which was Sharon's stamp simply challenge this week - to use embossing on a card. I used my Versamark Watermark embossing ink to stamp the images on my labels one nestability (I thought it gave the idea of the pillow shape!), sprinkled on the clear embossing powder - tapped it off - and heated it with my hot gun. Then I just knotted the double stitched ribbon around it to keep it clean and simple like the pillow.

And last but not least! Here is my less than 30 minute card for the limited supplies challenge on Split Coast - it took me 28 minutes to get this together! This bunny is a free digital image from Two Scoops Rice Designs that I got here. I printed the image and then colored it with copics, cut it out and layered it onto the Labels One nestability die cut using foam dimensionals. I sponged the edge of the die cut with white ink just to give it a little definition and also did faux stitching with a black micron pen.

I stamped the sentiment from Inky Antics and punched it out layering it to another punched circle and attaching it with foam dimensionals. and DONE!

Ok! I'm off to enjoy this beautiful weather God has given us today!! And later tonight DH and I are going out to dinner and then to a local Symphony with some friends.

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!
