Card A Day Blog: Think Spring

Howdy!  Ahh Spring is in the air!  Well I know it's not really Spring but that is the theme this week at the Card a Day blog.  I am soo ready for Spring and Spring flowers.  We actually had some really warm weather today.  It was such a nice change..I'm going to enjoy every minute of this warm weather as later in the week it is supposed to get cold again!  UGH!

One of the first things I notice when Spring is trying to sprout is my Lily of The Valley plants pushing their heads up through the ground.  So..I decided to make a few cards featuring my version of the Lily of the Valley plant. 

I used Case this sketch #67 for my inspiration. 

I used two of the newest files added to my store...Think Spring and Pennant Border Set.  I also used my Sentiments:  Script for the greeting.  You can purchase them by clicking directly on the previews below:

 

One thing I like to do when I make a card is to cut enough pieces out to make a duplicate card.  That way I increase my stash.  Below is another one I made.

This time I decided to stamp and emboss the sentiment using PaperTrey Ink's Mat Stack stamp.  Oh and it's very hard to tell in the photos but I used PTI's rosie posie to stamp the edge of the background paper in tone on tone ink.  It really does add a lot to the card in person.

I really enjoyed this sketch.  It was fun to do since I am a very linear person when it comes to card making.  I really loved the fun element the tilted tag shadow added.

Thanks for stopping by!  Please come back again!
