Spring Is (Almost) In The Air.

 Hello everyone: As always, I hope and pray you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Winter is still here and it will be a while until Spring arrives so, I wanted to gift all of you and myself, with a little preview of what lays ahead.

My teammates over at SHOPPING OUR STASH want to inspire you to use metal charms, foil paper, metallic embossing powders, etc.

My card has these small, 1.5" metal frames I had for years and years, it's a shame I don't use them more often.  I stamped the flowers and cut them out and framed them, the frame kit came with this handheld press to seal the images inside the frame.


*********************************************
This is the inside.



And this is what I used.

Power Poppy "Poppies" (2015)
Power Poppy "Countryside Bouquet Delux (2014)
Power Poppy "Under Glass" (2017)
Elizabeth Craft Designs "Winter/Spring"(2015)
The little Lady Bug by the sentiment is from Stampin' Up!
Flourishes "Tulips for Friends" (2013)

Thank you for visiting me today and for your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

Now, hop over the SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge blog and check out my teammates' awesome creations, don't forget to visit their personal blogs and leave them some love.

I want to play with:





Please stay healthy and safe.

Beautiful use of those metal frames you have had hiding in your stash!! Great inspiration for those who decide to play along with our "full metal jacket" challenge over at Shopping Our Stash.

Maria, such a beautiful illustration to what we have to look forward to. Spring is only 20 days away. As always your choice of colors and your coloring and shading is always a delight to my eyes.
