Hello friends. I'm up on the Sweet n Sassy blog today sharing two spring-themed cards created with the NEW stamp sets for March! This first one features the "Sweet Little Lamb" set. I couldn't resist adding some hearts from the set to my tree, and those tiny little flowers to the vines along my fence.

My second card uses "Blessing in Disguise" (my new favorite stamp set!), Psalm 23 Background, and Grace So Amazing.
For this card I stamped and embossed four coneflowers. After coloring them, I fussy cut them, and trimmed the leaves off. I cut between the petals and glued one on top of the other to form two 3D flower heads. I then punched a bunch of tiny suns, scrunched them up, and hot glued them to my flowers (If you like to see a photo of the process you're welcome to visit this post.)

Fantastic job with the flower centers - what a special touch. I'm mesmerized by all that lovely blue. What a beautiful card.

Gorgeous dimension on your flowers and I had totally forgot about how you did those centers, I just love that, thanks for the reminder!

Both of these cards couldn't be more beautiful. I'm amazed by the blue flowers and having all the dimension with the stamens in the middle is so clever. Your blue cardstock matches the flowers so perfectly and all the die-cut areas add so much interest to the background. I'm so very happy you shared this with us at TIME OUT!
WOW!
Just perfect for the Challenge!
Great project!
Fabulous that you have shared this with us here at Colour Crazy.
Good luck and we hope you will come back again! Jackie DT Member xxx
