Is everyone having a good week? It's hard to believe that May is already half over! Hopefully, you're having some nice weather where you are. We've had a couple nice days here and I'm hoping they stay for a while. I'm definitely ready for spring. I shared this card over on the Stampavie blog earlier this month, but haven't had a chance to share it here on my blog until today. I use the cute Spring has Sprung image from the Laurence Collection for my card.
Isn't that such an adorable image?! I stamped the image on copic x-press it cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink. I colored the image with copic markers and used some patterned papers from Echo Park's Life is Good line. I used a sentiment from Waltzingmouse's Spring Baskets stamp set and die cut it with one of the banner dies from Spellbinders. I finished off my card with lots of stitching, some pink buttons, some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, and some leaves punched with the leaf frond punch from Martha Stewart.
Have a wonderful day!
Niki
