Sing a Song of Spring

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I bring you into the Spring spirit! Here in Texas we just went through Daylight Savings change where we "spring" forward our clocks. We are a few days away from the seasonal change to spring and a few weeks away from the Easter holiday as well. This card will help you celebrate all things spring!
I cut the musical staff mesh border and trimmed it to the size that would fit the large Sentiment Tag 1 die. The remaining piece of diecut was then cut in half again to line up the straight lines of the music staffs. Spray adhesive made adhering the mesh to the background easy. The frame was layered with eggs and flowers to inspire the feelings of spring! I hope you enjoy my card!

Eggstra Special Thanks!

Eggstra Special Thanks!

 I have had the great fortune of meeting some really sweet people over these last few months in the online community. Several of them have become good friends to me and they continually offer support for my crafty efforts. One good friend is often sending me the cutest cards and this week surprised me and my daughter with a care package filled with another super cute card and all kinds of handmade and papercrafty goodies! I was overwhelmed by her generosity and spirit--it really made my day super special! Thank you Sigrid!

To show my thanks, I have made her this darling bunny card using Digital Delights Digi Stamp from the Snuffles and Sookie Easter Set and my favorite Easter sentiment You're Eggstra Special. I colored Snuffles with BIC Mark-Its and accented the stamp with glossy accents, gelly roll glitter pen, wiggle eyes, and bling. I made hotpink "flocking" by trimming down a hotpink pompom and adding crystal lacquer to the nose and piling on the "flocking." I gently swept away the excess. The Bazzill Buttons are some of my favorite but these light tan buttons really did not match the tan of my bunny...so I colored them with the same marker I used on my bunny which easily stuck to the non-porous surface since BIC Mark-It's are alcohol based. Finally I added a little strip of layered cardstock wtih some bling to the interiour of the card to give it a little extra something.

I hope you enjoyed my card! I really hope Sigrid loves it! Thank you again! You are truly a special friend!
