C'mon Spring!



So are you JONESIN' for spring like I am? Oh my, I cannot wait! I decided to make another card with the sponged sky technique. This time I paired it up with MFT's Love Birds set, which is available at Stamper's Dream. I just LOVE this tree...so pretty and so easy to color. The layout is Mercy's Sketch 63.

I added some eucalyptus stickles to the leaves. The DP behind the oval panel is Lush Blue by My Mind's Eye, the edges are sponged with Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass ink and I added small dots of waterfall stickles. The clouds were also sponged with Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass and the grassy areas were sponged with Certainly Celery. The DP panel, sentiment tag, and oval are all up on separate layers of foam tape.

Here's a close-up of the sparkle and that shimmery sheer teal May Arts ribbon:



Thanks for stopping by and enjoy what's left of the weekend!
