Its almost Springtime here and I can't wait. My flowering pear trees are FULL of the little white flowers already and we have pretty daffodils that have sprouted. Now if the weather would STAY at 70 degrees I'd be one happy lady!
I created this card with the inspiration of my trees in the front yard. My son wanted to make a card so while he stamped, this one just kind of evolved.
I stamped the tree first, then the kids on the bench. It needed some grass below (my daughter helped me with this part). Then (she helped me) stamp the sun in two colors on the top. I added the sentiment at the top too. But being a 6x6 white card, it needed a whole lot more. I stamped a cloud then cut it out. Using it as a mask, I sponged Sky ink to create the sky. I tore some paper and used that as a guide for my landscape sponged in Sweet Leaf ink. All that was missing was a big yellow button for the sun.
And voila! While supervising my son's card, I created one of my favorite cards to date!!!!
This card fits perfectly into Heart2Heart's Times 3 challenge- using 3 stamps to create a scene :)

And here's his card:
The night before, my dear friend Jayma was over babysitting the kids and she helped him make a different card for us while we were gone. So when he was making this card, he picked out his own stamps and his own inks. I would hand him a block and he'd say "this block is too big mom" and go pick himself out a perfect sized one. So with some supervision of the inks, he did a pretty good job all on his own!
