Hi sweet blogging friends,
Is all this rain giving you the blues? Over the past couple of days the trees have really begun to bud and the birds are starting to nest. My magnolia tree should be the first to bloom. My card today features a beautiful digital image by Catherine Chavez from India Rose Vintage.
I started with a base card in Fresh Air and layered it with a piece of Baja Breeze. Another piece of Fresh Air was embossed using a Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. Soft Sky seam binding was wrapped around with a triple loop bow. I couldn't resist adding a flat back white pearl.
This digital image was printed and cut out using a Spellbinders Small Classic Circles die and adhered to a scalloped circle in Baja Breeze. I added some Star Dust Stickles to the flowers and popped it up.
Thinking of you was stamped in Baja Breeze and embossed with clear embossing powder with a heat gun. It was cut out using the PTI banner die.
The inside sentiment was stamped on a Spellbinders Labels Eight #5 die. A few eggs were stamped and colored with a blender pen in Soft Sky & Tempting Turquoise. The speckles were done with a Close to Cocoa marker.
I also created a sticker for the back of the envelope using the same image. It was punched out with a 1 3/8" circle punch and put through my Xyron sticker maker.
Wishing you a bright and beautiful May Day! I hope to do quite a bit of crafting this weekend.
