Here is a look at the card that I created to share with you today:

Nothing says Spring to me more than seeing the tulips I have planted, pop up and start to bloom. I thought it would be fun to mimic that just a bit with my card. I started by using a piece of white cardstock and using a die cut to cut out a sweet little scalloped layer. I inked up some clouds by using some distress oxides and a cloud stencil. I added a border of Tulips by using a file I found in the Cricut store from Miss Kate's Cuttables and added a sweet little bumble bee from the Life Outdoors cartridge. I added a bit of sparkle to the flight trail as well as to his wings by using some Blizzard Nuvo Drops. I stamped my greeting from Jaded Blossom, used a die to cut it out, added some crochet thread and popped it up onto the top of my card with some foam tape. I completed my card with a few little doodles with my white gel pen and then added my image layer onto a yellow cardbase. 

I think it turned out so cute!
