Spring Has Sprung!!

Hi everyone!! Happy Tuesday!! It sure feels like Spring has Sprung here in New York! It was SO beautiful out today...if only I wasn't stuck at work all day!!

Here is my card for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge, MTSC64!! This was such a fun sketch to work with!!

For my card, I used my new favorite Taylored Expressions set, Favorite Peeps!! Have you seen the total and utter cuteness of this set? I LOVE it! I stamped the main image (the birdie on the branch) in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream and I then I stamped the eggs and drew little hangers so they are hanging from the branch!

I colored the entire image with Copic Markers and cut out the image with Square Nestabilities. I sponged the edges with Memento Canteloupe and Memento Tangelo. ALL the cardstock, patterned paper and the button are from the Easter Key Ingredients, and the bling is from the Spring Sampler, both of which are available now at Taylored Expressions! The patterned paper in this KI is Kioshi by Basic Grey...yum!!

I stamped the sentiment, "Spring Has Sprung", also from Favorite Peeps, and cut it out with Tags Trio Nestabilities. I sponged the tag as well and attached it, along with the button, using Foam Tape. The border is the Apron Lace punch by Fiskars that I doubled up with the white and pink cardstock!!

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!!
