The days are getting warmer and longer, and I LOVE it!!! Today I have a card that shows my enthusiasm for the warmer Spring weather.
One of the old time sayings has something about “coming in like a lamb”. I cannot remember if it is Spring though. When I saw this stamp set, Springtime Joy, I immediately thought of Spring and Easter. Regardless, I think this little lamb is adorable! I kept the lamb image very simple. I stamped using Smoky Slate Ink on Basic White cardstock. I colored the flower headband with Petal Pink and Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends.
The paper is from the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper. I love the softness and the flecks of color in the larger piece. I layered the DSP onto a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock. The base of the card is Thick Basic White. The ribbon wrapped around the card is Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon from the Annual Catalog. Sometimes I get carried away with the newer catalogs and don’t use the other items.
To join all of the colors together I cut two banner pieces and cut one end of each using the Banner Pick A Punch. To finish, I decided not to layer the lamb circle. I simply added a few Stampin’ Dimensionals and let it overlap the banners a bit. I did add some Basic Pearls to the flowers on the lamb. I know it is a norm to only use an odd number of embellishments, but there were four flowers, so I added four pearls.
