Stamp & Create ~ New February Challenge and New Candy

Happy Monday! It is a lovely bright day today. Not too cold and there is light snow falling. This is my kind of winter day. We had a busy week-end and the house needs a little bit of picking up. I hope to get it done in short order because I have some baking to do for our Teacher Appreciation week :)

So, I finally gave in and have opened up a Pintrest account. I held off because I know I will be tempted to spend too much time browsing, but I shall hold myself in check. If you would like to follow me, you will see that I have installed the link at the upper left of my side-bar.

Today I have my card for Stamp & Create’s February Challenge with the theme:

Spring is Coming!

One random participant will win a $25 Gift Certificate to Stamp and Create.

Once again, I made a quick and “mailable” card.  I used one of my all-time favorite stamps; Whiff of Joy's Henry Hugging Heart which was colored with Copic Markers and Twinkling H2Os. The paper is from My Mind's Eye Lucky in Love 6x6 paper pack. I cut some strips form one of the sheets to created these banners. Easy-peasy. The background was embossed with a Stampin’ Up plate. I added some die-cut butterfllies made with a Stampin’ Up Embosslit set and a rainbow charm to completes the  card.
