Happy Wednesday! I am thrilled to be back on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog Design Team; I rarely buy a stamp set unless I can get the matching dies and I love that Dies R Us carries so many different brands of product. Spring is FINALLY here in Colorado, sort of. We have been having 80 degree days, and then 60 degree days - still, it isn't rain or snow, so I'm a happy girl :) If you are a regular reader you know I am in love with Lawn Fawn and I pretty much buy every new thing they come out with {I'm happy, wallet is NOT happy!} because I just have to have it! Here is a new spring card I made with some of their products :)

I
stamped, colored and cut all of the components, ran a pretty piece of
Spiffy Speckles through the die machine using the windy backdrop {if you
look close, the mice seem to be speckled too; before I cut them out I
had used a bleach clean up product on my desk and got the speckled mice,
not on purpose, but a fun accident. Kind of different!} I framed the
background with white card cut out using Labels 17 and before I glued it
down, I pieced the scene together. I went over all the dandelions with
clear sparkles to give the card a bit of pizazz, you can't really see
it in the pictures but it's there. I glued all the pieces onto the
background, added the banner with the sentiment and I was done. This
was such fun card to make and I love that the flowers are included with
the set as coloring grey {hmmmm, rainbow mice? Sounds like a plan to me!
Oh! How about some pastel mice to help usher in spring!?!} mice all day
can get really boring!
I
hope you enjoyed my mini tutorial {truthfully, I run out of ways to
word them and honestly, who is going to read this that needs a how to?
But it is my way of blogging, so you are stuck with it! I like to blog
like you & I are having a conversation so that's what I do!} and you
are getting some signs of spring in your neck of the woods. I
appreciate you guys so much and your comments give me the push I
sometimes need to continue with my hobby. Please continue to be careful
as the world slowly begins to open back up! Fondly, Christi
