It's all about SPRING and FAITH!

Hello and Welcome to my little corner of Blogland.

Today's post is for our March Challenge

over at STAMPlorations 
which is all about Spring and Faith.

You can find all the info Over Here.

Don't you love the Graphic!

 It's coming on Spring over the pond but closing in
on our Autumn here in the south which means cooler days.
Flowers are still blooming and we can still sit outside
relaxing with a good cup of tea - hence I have incorporated the

STAMPlorations Framed-Tea-Cups here
I heat embossed in White onto Vellum paper
 and including the Sentiment which I think reflects the Faith side. 

It is a little hard to see but says 
Where there's tea there's hope
from STAMPlorations Always Tea Time

I found this nice soft DP in my stash and thought 

it suitable to frame those tea cups. 

The metallic card stock and all 3 layers were cut from

CUTplorations Double-Running-Stitch-Rectangle-Nesting-Dies

These are the STAMPloration products used.

You will find so many amazing creations by the Team
over on Our Blog so pop on over to get
your creative juices flowing and join in this month's fun challenge.
There is so much scope here.
Of course there are prizes and you can even get a 20% discount
just by using my code STAMPGIRLINA.

Thanks for droppin' by today.

We're Trending this week at Just Us Girls

 

It's Trend Week at Just Us Girls

and Sue is Hosting.

 She has picked one of my favourites

Vellum.

 

 

I have seen a number of cards similar to my card on Pinterest

 and have always wanted to make my version.

This was a perfect time to do so.

 

 

I started my card with kraft card stock as my base

 then added navy and turquoise paper.

I used Stampin' Up Inspired by Nature stamp set for

my background flower that I inked with

Memento Paris Dusk spritzed with water and

stamped onto turquoise paper.

Sponged a little ink on the centre of the flower.

The stems (from the same stamp set)

 are heat embossed on vellum in white

and roughly torn for effect. 

I cut out 2 butterflies from a Cherry Lynn die -

one in white and the second (a little hard to see) in vellum.

Added a few small punched circles on the body and

 a touch of Stardust Stickles.

Continued with some white brads

and navy ribbon.

The sentiment is from Gina K Designs

and cut from McGill Vintage Label Punch.
