Spring Has Finally Sprung

March 19, 2021High Hopes Stamps, Spring, Suecopic markers, High Hopes Stamps, Spring Bunny Sampler, Spring Has Sprung, SueSue

Welcome Everyone;

We have definitely had some spring like weather this past week, even though it isn’t officially Spring yet. That is definitely ok though — who needs snow, sleet and freezing rain. Hmm, now that I have said this, watch the weather turn.

Anyway, for today’s card I have used the adorable Spring Bunny Sampler and Spring Has Sprung. Both are from High Hopes Stamps.

After colouring the image with Copic Markers, I trimmed it to just outside of the square border. I then die cut a piece of Rose Gold foil with a Square Hearts Die. My original idea was to put a piece of white cardstock behind the hearts, without the hearts being cut out on the inside and then mount the image. Alas, I haven’t figured that out yet. That way, I could have popped it up.

Some Nuvo Crystal Drops were added to the center of the hearts.

Stamps: Spring Bunny Sampler – S176, Spring Has Sprung – F062 — both from High Hopes Stamps
Paper: XPress It Blending Cardstock, DP – Welcome Spring – Echo Park, Rose Gold Deco Foil
