Hello Stampers, the time is getting closer to that wonderful time of year. The time where everything starts awakening. Spring! The weather warms up and the flowers start to come back. Of coarse it has down sides too, allergies, sinuses, and bird poop on your car. But it is mainly a happy time. Here are 2 cards that really bring the spring feel. One is a spring or Easter card and the other is a Mother's Day card. I am not posting instructions on these because I would still be typing instructions up when summer got here. I thought you would like to see them and get inspiration from them. I will still give you the ingredients. Here they are:
This is the Spring card. I just love the color combo. Don't you?

- Blender Pens # 102845 I used them in conjunction with the following ink pads
- Almost Amethyst Classic ink pad #101723

This card takes lots of patience but it is worth it. The short directions is I took the ribbon and fed it through the holes in the scallop trim border and wove them just like we did in kindergarten. It took me a while, but I figured it out. I did every other hole so that when doing the ones in the opposite direction there was room for them. After that it is just over and under. I also punch out 2 of the XL Fancy flower punches and layered them for the background of the image.
