I have created for today’s hop:
First up today is Beth's set, Spring Fling:
How cute are these little guys?? Here is my first card with this set:
Well, this card kinda took its own direction, lol! I stamped the little guys all out onto water color papers then masked them off with full intentions of water coloring them too. But after creating the background and rubbing of the masking stuff I thought it looked pretty neat with them in just white! LOL! Kinda looks like an easter egg exploded though on the background now that I look at it more, haha! And notice my ribbon slipped a bit there over the word 'spring' *sighs* we are our worst critics arent we? Ok, here is another:
This was a quick little card with matching envelope and I used that adorable bunny on it! I just love him! Him and the duck are my favorite! :D
Next is Claire's set,
Springtime Baskets.
This set is just packed FULL of so many awesome images and will having you stamping these baskets well past Springtime! :D Here is my first card I made with this set:
I used the planter and stuck some daffodils in it! I decided to hang the sentiment like a sign from the main image...I used a broken piece of jewelry to make the little chain. I colored the flowers with copic markers. (by the way...we call these Jonquils around here, even have a festival just a bit away from me every year about the time they start blooming...which I just noticed today that they are!)
Here is another card I made and I combined the two sets:
That background is the 2nd pull off my gelli plate from the card I showed yesterday using Theresa's set and didnt want to waste it. I took one of the egg patterns (the one that reminds me of Charlie Brown!) and made the little chick a cracked egg 'suit'. The eggs in the basket are colored with Tonic Studios Nuvo drops...they are so neat looking IRL, love the effect it gave the eggs, just couldnt capture it on the camera darn it!
And next is the new Incentive stamp
Vintage Rose.
How gorgeous are these roses? Here is what I have done for today with this set:
I stamped the image onto toner paper and then colored it with Prism Premier pencils, trying for a sketchy look, as I call it. I used my coffee cup and versamark ink to make the circle cup stains and a big ole tulle bow. And one more, this one in memory of my Mama, who's favorite song was 'Yellow Rose of Texas' because that is what my Daddy called, her...His Yellow Rose from Texas...Thought I'd share that bit of their 'love story' today on Valentine's Day with you! Sadly, they are not here on this old earth with me now, but I know they are celebrating this day of love in the best place ever!
and again, I stamped this image onto toner paper and also colored with the pencils. I added a gold bee and bow charm from my box of metal stuffs.

And one more I wanted to show you! Almost forgot! This also combines Claires set but this time with one of the coloring panel pages that you can foil too. I foiled it then just cut the butterfly out:
and close up of the shiny butterfly!
