I don't know about you but Spring is my favorite season. I'm definitely a fair weather kind of gal and unfortunately our Pacific Northwest summers can get way too toasty for me.
I had spring on my mind as I was designing this card that features:
This design is easy to customize based on what sentiment you pick. I love the idea of putting together a set of these with different types of sentiments to give as a gift.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi friends! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. For Mix it up Monday, I'm willing the weather to follow my vibes with more sunshine and less rain as we head into that wishy-washy spring weather. In doing so I got to play with the new Lawn Fawn butterflies and couldn't recommend them more!
I started by die cutting the Lawn Fawn Butterfly Border pieces from white, yellow and gold glitter cardstocks. I added some copic accents to the yellow layer of the butterflies before using liquid glue to adhere the layers together.
Next, I cut the Lawn Fawn Giant Hello Sunshine from white cardstock and set it aside. I trimmed a piece of yellow cardstock to A2 size and inked it up with the Pretty Pink Posh Starburst stencil using Lawn Fawn sunflower ink and a blending brush. After removing the stencil I went over the center of the panel with the same color, fading out as I moved toward the edge.
I glued the stenciled panel to a white card base and then glued the sentiment to the center of that. I knew I wanted to layer the top row of butterflies so I left the top of the hello letters without glue for now. Next, I glued the butterflies in place, going back to add a little glue on the sentiment as needed. After everything dried, I trimmed the butterflies off the edge and my card is all finished.
Are you ready for some steady sunshine or do you have it already where you live? We're soaking it up each day that we get where I am.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Happy Mix it up Monday everyone! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook with some seriously monstrous birthday wishes! These new Mama Elephant monsters are adorable and are going to be so fun to color in all the different colorways over time. I'm absolutely smitten!
After stamping and coloring these cuties, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Then I switched to my background because it was going to need time to dry.
For that I used the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Candles stencil set. I inked them up at a gradient angle for the base candle shape, then added the flames, then for the detail layer, I inked up the same colors again but after that I wiped the stencil off and added a layer of glossy gel over the top for some dimension that kept the color underneath. Once the glossy gel was dry, I added a little copic marker to the flames for some extra dimension there too.
For my sentiment, I cut the Pretty Pink Posh Wish Big dies from white cardstock 3 times and used liquid glue to adhere the layers together. Then I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Mama Elephant Monster Hugs set my images came from and cut it out with a Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strip die.
Next I just adhered all my layers together. The stenciled panel went on a card base with liquid glue, then my wish big sentiment the same way. Then I added the images and embossed sentiment strip with foam squares and strips.
For finishing touches I just added black glaze pen to the monster eyes and a little white gel pen highlight to the balloon.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
