God's love is wrapping all around you, whether you notice it or not.
Hey there from Nannyland,
I absolutely loved ushering in the delights of spring with this adorable February Spellbinders Large Die of the Month set. It's called Floral Bunny Basket and is so amazingly sweet with its textured basket, layered tulips, plump carrots and darling rabbit. Who doesn't love an adorable bunny butt!!!
When I imagined the tulips for my basket, I had in mind this fabulous tulip quilt in beautiful bright printed fabric from one of my favorite designers. I decided to experiment with some of my designer paper pads and create some paper "quilted" tulips. I always enjoy paper piecing and I really like how they turned out. I added faux stitching to the edges with a black micro pen to carry on the stitchy vibe.
A vellum butterfly, mini dragonfly and gold metallic bow add a little extra personality to my spring scene. And, of course, it wouldn't be complete without my usual gems for added sparkle.
The recipients of these cards will be two dear friends, one of whom is obsessed with bunnies. I think this one will definitely make her smile.
I hope I have awakened a bit of your spring spirit, even if you're like me and there's still some evidence of a hard winter outside. It's a bit rainy here in the desert today and there's new snow on the mountains, (eek!), but the buds are blooming on the fruit trees outside my window and soon spring will burst through like it always does. Happy Easter, everyone.
Thanks for visiting Nannyland.
I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.
