I used one of my favorite stamp sets from the Occasions Mini catalog, Nature Walk - let's hope that one makes it into the Idea Book & Catalog in July! :) I love, love, love this set and see myself using and keeping it forever, hehe.
I stamped the flowers from the set on the shipping tag in Rose Red, then stamped the butterfly in Old Olive twice - once on the tag, then once on Very Vanilla cardstock. I cut out the one on Very Vanilla, and adhered it over the image stamped on the tag, bending the back wing up slightly. I stamped the French Script (retired) stamp in Crumb Cake on the piece of Woodland Walk DSP, then stamped the bird cage over top of the script in Early Espresso.
Next, I sewed around the DSP, just like the previous card. A strip of Sticky Strip on the back of the Early Espresso cardstock allowed me to quickly and easily create a ruffle from the Springtime Vintage Designer Fabric (still available). Added some embossing, and other embellies shown, and the card was complete! :)

Your card is SOOOOOO beautiful. I'm always in awe of your creations! You should make the idea book over & over again.
ReplyDeleteSpring is my favorite season for so many reasons. Love all the green, the gorgeous flowers, and the best weather. Everything seems so fresh, new, and clean in the Spring.
Thanks for the chance at a give-away! I'd love to use the Strength & Hope stamp set.
Your card is beautiful. Love the use of fabric giving an interesting texture.
ReplyDeleteMelissa - I am always in awe of your style!
ReplyDeleteI love both spring and fall - unfortunately we don't see enough of either around here.
I am in love with the little "It's the Thought" stamp set so I would love that one! :)
I love visting your site - such great ideas! Living in Nebraska, we have 4 definate seasons. Spring is about renewal, new life, babies being born (we have cattle), everything opening back up after a long cold winter.
ReplyDeleteLove both sets - which ever one would "tickle" me pink :)
Came to your blog by way of Wendy S.! Love your style. My favorite of the two prizes is the "It's the Thought" set. Super cute!!
