A little spring?

Anyone like me feeling the winter blues? I’ve put together this little goodie package to give away. Lots of spring colors, flowers and fun things to get you designing for spring. Before I get to the giveaway…I’d like to share a quick spring card I recently created. I just love these colors for spring and actually…I never would have thought to put this all together if they hadn’t been in a pile of scraps next to each other.

 Spring Happiness

Bee-utiful Tuesday

I have some sweet bees to share with you today. I hope you don’t mind that I’m on a pink kick right now. I’m just gearing up for Valentine’s Day I guess! 😉 These sweet bees are called Honey Bees and are the latest Friendly Kritters stamp. So sweet for spring and summer these would make great friendship cards, thank yous or note cards. This image was colored in with my Copic markers. Unfortunately, my camera didn’t pick up all the subtle graduations. I spent a long time coloring each flower and blending four shades so I’m a little disappointed.

Spring Bees

To create a very subtle background for this card, I took a plain piece of my Basic Grey Bittersweet paper and stamped on it. I love the pattern and Antique Linen Distress Ink looks perfect with this Fiery Floral Scrapblock™.

If you’re looking for CHA coverage…check out Craft Critique. They have some great shots and video and are updating all the time. Wish I was there!

Have a sweet day!
