SPRING is in the air........

Hey everyone,
I just thought I would quickly post this project as I am on a quick break from a scrappin' wknd retreat that I am attending. This project is for a couple challenges that I had a blast playing along in. The challenges are: cricutcardz Challenge #67~Spring project using pink, green and white only AND Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #48. I hope you like it as much as I did making it!!

This is a 5" card with a base layer that is 4 3/4. The scallop and flower plus the layers are cut at 3 1/2  from the Create a Critter cartridge. The little face on the flower is from PK~dolly dumplins faces set. I have used a pretty flower border punch from fiskars. The sentiment "Happy Spring" is from My Creative Time~"color me happy" stamp set, which I love. The solid  paper used is from SU and the patterned paper I am not sure what company~just scraps I had laying around.


The box is one that I found at a craft shop that I decorated up. I cut the strips at 2 1/8 x 9 1/2 to fit around the sides and 4 1/2 x 4 3/4 for the top. I distressed it a bit using a distress tool and a color box ink pad~olive pastel. The leaves were cut at 1 1/4  and used the cuttlebug to emboss them using the swiss dots folder. The sentiment "Spring is in the air" is from My Creative Time~"color me happy" stamp set. I used SU punches for around the sentiment. The ribbon and bling are from Michael's. I hope I have inspired you a little on this project as it "really" was a lot of fun making!!!
Thanks for visiting my blog!
