ATS March Release Sneak Peek - Day Two!

Wednesday, March 7, 2012

Hi everyone! I'm so thrilled you're all enjoying the sneak peeks!

It's day two of the All That Scraps March releases and we've got another set of cuties to share with you all that are perfect for any spring-themed card! The set is called Spring Has Sprung and it's designed by ATS owner and illustrator, Christine Wooden.

There are three adorable images in this set but today, I'm sharing just one of them with you. Meet Lambie!! I'm a bit partial to sheep since I was born in the land where sheep are far more common than people...can you guess where?! Hint: The country is made up of two islands!

She is just the sweetest thing! I wanted to make her center stage, so I used Jen's Deconstructing Sketch (DS41) for my layout. It worked beautifully with these papers from Jillibean Soup, Memory Box and Basic Grey! But it wasn't so easy to pick them out. I am not going to lie to you - I was having a bad paper-picking week when I made this card! Well, not this particular card, but the two others I made before this one! They were not springy enough for Lambie! Soooo thankful these papers came together just in the nick of time!

I colored in Lambie with my SU reinkers and water pen, then cut her out with a Spellbinders circle nestie. Then matted it with some Bitter Chocolate Bazzil Basics cardstock. For the base, I machine stitched the Jillibean Soup 'Old World Cabbage Stew', Basic Grey 'Wisteria' and Memory Box 'Valise' paper to some more Bitter Chocolate cardstock, and used EK Success's edge punch on the horizontal strip. Then I added some twill ribbon, made a bow and adhered it to the card. See that ticket?? It's another stamp from the Spring Logo's set being released this week! I've never used a ticket on a card before....but you can bet I'll be using one again! I loooove the look of them!

If you want to see what the other images are in the set, then head on over to the ATS blog! You'll see cards from the rest of the design team AND if you leave your name in the InLinkz at the bottom of the blog post, then you have a chance to win yourself the set! Just by leaving your name! How easy is that?!

I have one more sneak peek tomorrow for you, so I'll see you then!
Thanks for stopping by today!
