There She Goes Blog Hop: Spring Fever

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today the There She Goes Trendsetters are sharing a bit of Spring Fever! The trees are budding, the grass is growing, the squirrels are feeling a bit frisky and our blogs are featuring some delightful Spring creations using the new Spring Fever stamp set! If you would like to win a copy of this set you just need to visit all of the Trendsetters' blogs (the ones on today's hop) and leave a little (or big) comment on their Spring Fever post. The hop started at the There She Goes blog where you can find all of the details on winning a copy of the Spring Fever stamp set! :)

For my card I had to use the cute little squirrels... they are having a romantic lunch rendevouz in the park. Smoochy squirrels... hee hee. ;)



Card notes: I stamped the bench on white cardstock in Creamy Caramel Classic ink and stamped the two little hearts in red. I then used my Copic markers and an air compressor to add blue sky and green grass. I used Copic markers to draw a bit of grass around the feet of the bench. Next I stamped the larger heart and the two squirrels on another piece of white cardsock and cut each image out. They were then adhered to the bench with dimensionals. A little designer paper, a crocheted flower and some sewing finished the card. Don't look to closely at the stitching... my sewing machine was having fits.
The next stop on the blog hop is the extremely talented Donna Wardle! I am in awe of her coloring with Prisma Pencils. I don't need another coloring medium but oh how tempting it is after viewing her fabulous creations. ;)
Recipe:
Stamps: Spring Fever (There She Goes Clear Stamps). Paper: Pink Pirouette, Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, White, Home designer (My Mind's Eye). Ink: Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, Riding Hood Red, Copic markers. Other: sewing machine and white thread, button (PTI), dimensionals.
