Hello sweet friends!
Welcome to a new challenge at Dies R US and I sure hope that your day is going well. This is my very first design team challenge so I'm excited to share with you what I created! So with that being said, here it is!
Our mid-month challenge is to "Think Spring"! And boy am I ready for spring to arrive! Just the smell of all the flowers, the warm breeze, the sunshine coming up in the morning through the bedroom window and the birds chirping for joy. Are you ready too? Well I hope my card will inspire you to think spring and think Easter! Here is my card today.

Well I hope my card will inspire you to think spring and think Easter! Here is my card today.
My front panel is a Die-Versions Whispers Cross Background Die that I added some crackle and distress ink to, to give it some texture. The cross that is cut out from the center was distressed with picket fence paint and some distress inks to look worn and weathered. This entire panel (minus the cross for now) was adhered to a piece of pattered paper from SEI and it was cut out using Lawn Fawn- Stitched Rectangle Frames Dies. Then I cut out 4 pieces of grass using the Impression Obsession- Grass Die and adhered that to the bottom of the card panel. Next I took the cross and adhered that into place. Then I added a few flourishes cut from the Die-Versions Whispers Flourish Die on the front card panel to look like "vines" growing up and around the cross. Once that was done, I adhered the bunny from the Impression Obsession- Chocolate Bunny Die on some foam adhesive for more texture. The bunny was stamped using a Hero arts stamp and I used some clear sparkle using my spectrum sparkle pen. Next I added the sweet butterflies that came from the Die-Versions Whispers Pretty Butterflies Dies. Love this set!~ The butterflies were distressed and I used some crackle paint on them as well. I also added a bit of sparkle to them. Lastly, I made a few small roses and a pretty flower for the top corner using the Impression Obsession- Spiral Flowers Large Dies. Now that everything was put together, all I had to do was add it to a card base. The card base is made from Neena solar white cardstock. All of the dies highlighted in the links above can be found in the Dies R Us store HERE
