Spring

 
It's in the air, well at least it is in this part of the country. And I hope
it gets to your area soon if it hasn't made it yet.
 
I started with a 4x8 tag cut out on my new Cricut Explore machine (I love this
newest machine they have).  I also cut out the butterflies in the lower left corner
and the doily at the upper right edge.
 
I used Tim Holtz's Distress Ink on the back ground, in Barn Door and Wild Honey.
The paper I used has as watercolor texture to it. Then I stamped the whole card
with a swirly background stamp in Ranger's Coffee.
 
I found some Lisa Pavelka watch gears, using 3 of those. There are stencils,
rub-ons, dictionary bits, letter decals, textured model paste.
 
The flower is from K&Company 'Paper Flowers' packet.
 
The words were printed on the Explore and I cut them out by hand. I saw
a video where someone used 'American Crafter's Slick Writer' pens in
the Explore instead of having to buy their pens for the machine. I gave them
a try and they worked great.....and I bought a set of 5 for the price
of one of Cricut's pens. 'yeah'
 
I made this one thinking that I will give this to my mother. I think she'll
like it.
