Oh the weather outside is frightful … but this springtime card is delightful!
Yes, we won’t even make it up to 0 degrees today in Minnesota! Schools are even closed in Minneapolis today.
So … I knew I needed to make a spring card first thing this morning. …and very quickly!
From the Garden is a great set for dreaming about spring! Who wouldn’t rather be planting a garden today? (You will want to purchase it as a bundle with the Handpicked Framelits Dies and save 15%!)
My inspiration came from this FMS 168 Card Sketch.
Notice how I changed it up a lot, while still keeping the essence of the sketch. That is so much fun to do!
Stamping Tip:
The words “best buds” fit right inside of the oval stamp. That really speeds up the stamping process, because you don’t need to center the inside stamp -its already done for you!
Here’s to keeping warm and toasty and enjoying your inner creativity today!!!
Pure sweetness! Yes, it does evoke thoughts of spring.
This is lovely Karen! So soft and pretty! Hazel x
