OK. That title is 'wishful thinking' for me. I am SO ready for some sunshine and a little warm air. I can't remember what it feels like to go outside without getting frostbite. :) SO... I thought a "springy" card was in order.
I was completely inspired by THIS cute card by Maile yesterday. I love how she used the negative of her die cut to showcase a pop of color layered underneath. So... I used the same concept, only on a larger scale.
I LOVE the sentiments in the February Kit of the Month by Unity! Look at that tiny butterfly image fluttering around the words! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect stamp to go with my card. :) I covered my sentiment with some Shimmerz paint to make it all sparkly.
And... I made that little silk flower out of ribbon (you can watch my video tutorial HERE).
And... while I was at it, I thought I'd try out the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger challenge, based off of this inspiration piece by Kimberly Crawford:
The butterfly image I used is from the Ippity set What Matters Most. (The buttons on the butterfly are from my husband's great grandmother's button stash.) I love this little chip sentiment by Melody Ross (Homespun Chic collection for GCD Studios). I think it's just perfect for a butterfly theme. :)
Thanks for coming and checking out my 'I Want Spring to Get Here Soon' cards. :) Make sure to check out the Unity Blog today to find out about all of the sales & specials going on AND to check out the rest of the DT's projects. Have a great day... & keep warm! :)
