It's time for the new sketch at The Sweet Stop, SSS202:
We have a spin this week: SPRINGTIME... and a prize: a $15.00 Gift Certificate for grab... so make sure you play along with us!
I didn't make a traditional spring card. When I think of Spring, I often think of crisp, clear days and a new beginning. So I made a Clean & Simple card with some crisp dry embossing... and use a quote about new beginnings... hope it works... what do you think?
-------
Recipe: Nature Silhouettes 2 and New Beginningsclear stamp sets (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps)... Birds & Feather Die set(Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps), Circle die (Spellbinders)... Fancy Fan folder (SU!), Corner punch (Fiskars)... Basic Black, Pool Party and Crumb Cake ink pads; Pool Party and Crumb Cake cards stock (SU!)... Washi tapes and Pearls (Michael's), Baker's Twine (The Twinery), Button (SU!)...
The inspiration came from CASE Study Challenges #132 (a Julie Ebersole card).

very pretty, great colors and like the angle. I like how you cut out the bird and we can see your stamping behind it, I keep thinking I need to try this technique but haven't yet.

This is just beautiful, Monika. I absolutely love that you die cut the bird as negative space to give a peek at the stamping behind it.
