A Spring Thank You
by Lindsay

 Happy Friday, friends!

I am back again this week, sharing another Spring-like card that uses some of the newly released dies. I really wanted to use them in a creative way, so let me show you what I did with these trees!

To start, I took a panel of card stock, and applied a lovely shade of teal to it, using a circular motion. I set that aside, and die cut quite a few of the Torrance Trees dies to create a faux flower. I applied color to each die cut using Copic Markers, and when I was finished, adhered them in a flower like arrangement onto the panel. I then took the Thank You Tiles, and used the positive portion, lining them up on the panel with a ruler.

Using the Dizzy Butterflies die set, I ran it through with gold card stock, and trimmed it out, adhering it to the center of the "flower" using a foam square. I then backed the panel with more gold card stock, and adhered that to a white card base.

I am always up for looking at dies in a different light. I hope it inspired you to see what you can do with your stash! Leave me a comment below, any will do, and you could win the fabulous Thank You Tiles Dies!
