TGIF – Spring-time Robins with Kay

Most of us here in the midwest are looking for signs of spring…any sign of spring! One of the best is to see the first robin of the year. Those little guys are smart and if they’re around, you know spring has arrived (or will be here very soon)! Kay is here for today’s TGIF with a beautiful project that’s the perfect reminder that spring will be here soon…

As winter draws to an end here, my thoughts have totally turned towards warmer days and spring flowers, and so I was inspired to bring out some pretty floral stamps to play with. I love the Fleur Impressions stamp set from The Greetery and had not had a chance to use that set yet, so was exited to play with it for this card. I also paired it up with a cute little bird from the Robin & Wren set, and created a frame to set it all off with the Nordic Frames dies.

For the background, I blended some purple and blue distress inks, then splattered some of those same colors along with some white acrylic paint.  

To create the frame, I used the two smaller size frames from the Nordic Frame dies,  layered the smaller one inside the larger of the two and cut them out together. I adhered this to my blended panel with foam tape. I stamped all of the pretty flowers from the Fleur Impressions stamp set, and little bird  from the Robin & Wren stamp set, in different shades of purples and blues. I then cut them out with the coordinating dies, and added them around the frame with foam tape. 

For the sentiment, I used the Hello from the Signed and Sealed Stamp set, and Beautiful from the Sketchbook Roses stamp set. I cut these out with the coordinating dies and added them along the frame with foam tape.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today and I hope it inspires you to do some spring crafting!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs,
Kay 🙂
