Dies R Us Think Spring

Time for a new challenge at DIES R US. Are you ready to Think Spring? With the record snows in some areas I know many of you are ready for the first sign of spring. In California, the almond trees fill out with soft pink blossoms in February.  Since we have many almond orchards surrounding us, I am looking forward to the day they begin to flower.  .


Last fall I made a similar card using fall colors and liked it so I thought I would make another one with a spring theme. I sponged a sun then covered it with a mask so I could sponge a blue sky. I layered the bench grass and tree and then framed the scene. A couple kitties and  my scene was done. 













The team has some fabulous inspiration for you so go take a look Dies R US  and then link up your spring creations.

  1. You are getting quite good at the scenes that you create. Love the pink texture blossoms on that tree. This one really makes me feel relaxed. Here in Florida, it is hard to think of making a winter scene. Why not have spring all year long.

  2. Not only ready to THINK it but to feel and see it too! My poor daffodils are buried under a foot of snow, and they had been up over 3 inches. Now back to your card! Oh WOW! I can only imagine this is the beautiful sight you just described! You put together dies and create a fantastic scene like no one else. Love the cat lolling on the bench. That beautiful tree and the flower soft. Love it all! Beautiful!
