A Cute Welcome Spring Card!

Today I am sharing a super cute Welcome Spring card using a bunch of fun dies from Rubbernecker. It may seem a little early for a Welcome Spring card – I know some areas are still getting tons of snow and chilly weather – but the good thing is Spring always does arrive and this card can get your friend ready for the blooming season.

For this card I used the Wheelbarrow, Tall Terracotta Pots, Grass, Watering Can, Tall Buckets, Small Flowers #1, Tiny Flower Buds, Leaf Group, Small Ivy, Small Butterflies, Grass #2 and Rectangle Combo #4.

The Frame and Grass

Cut an A2 sized card base using white cardstock.
Use blue cardstock to cut the frame sections and green cardstock to cut the grass layers.
Attach the two frame layers together using double stick tape.
Cut the grass layer to fit in the frame and attach it to the double stick tape.
Apply mounting tape to the back of the frame and attach it to the card base.

The Wheelbarrow, Bucket, Watering Can and Flower Pots

Cut the wheelbarrow and bucket using gray cardstock and the flower pots using yellow cardstock.
Apply Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge ink to the wheelbarrow and bucket using mini applicators to distress and age.
Use Vintage Photo ink on the wheelbarrow handles.
Apply Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge ink to the flower pots using mini applicators.
Cut a watering can using aqua cardstock.

The Flower Pot Arrangements

Cut the flowers using pink, purple and yellow cardstock.
Form the flowers using a small tipped stylus and molding pad.
Use green cardstock to cut the foliage.
Cut the Leaf Group foliage sections apart and attach them to the back of the flower pots using glossy accents.
Attach the flowers to the foliage in the flower pots using glossy accents.
Use glossy accents to attach pre made white Nuvo Crystal drops to the center to the pink flowers. Note: I keep a supply of Nuvo Crystal Drops on a piece of craft sheet to have on hand for when I need them for flower centers, etc. Using pre made drops are so much cheaper than buying tiny white pearls.

Assemble the Scene

Use glossy accents to attach the two buckets to the back of the wheelbarrow.
Tuck the wheelbarrow in behind the grass layer and attach it to the card base using a piece of mounting tape.
Apply mounting tape to the bucket, watering can and third flower pot, tuck them in behind the grass and attach to the card base.
Cut Grass #2 using green cardstock and tuck them in behind the grass section and attach using glossy accents.
Finish the scene by cutting small butterflies using aqua cardstock and attach them to the card base using glossy accents.

Think of those people who could use a breath of SPRING air and get them ready by sending this Welcome Spring card – you might even pop a little packet of flower seeds in there to get them excited!
