Spring Fever

 Fall is my favourite time of year .....but there is something to be said for spring. After a long, dreary, dark winter it feels so good when the days start to get longer and the mountains of snow start to melt. There is nothing better then those first few days when the temperatures are above freezing, the sky is blue and sun is shining and feels soooo warm! Something about these days makes my heart happy and my insides giddy....I know, weird right? 

I have a girlfriend who loves to garden and the "Egg Drop" stamp from the "Spring Fever" re-release at High Hopes reminds me of her.....okay she is like this with plants not eggs but the happy dance she does is hard not to join in with. I hope you will join us in our spring happy dance!

I stamped the image on alcohol friendly paper, coloured her with Copic markers, added some clouds using a cloud die, ink and a dauber and cut her out using a pleated lace die. I set her aside and stamped my sentiment and cut it out with a fish tail banner die and cut a piece of matching card stock at the same time. Patterned paper from the Spiffy Speckles collection by Lawn Fawn was perfect for my image and card design so I cut it to fit the 5.5" x 5.5" card base. For the purple piece, I cut a scallop border using a die to add a bit of interest to my design. Some flowers and enamel dots finish off my card.
