Wicked Wednesday with Star Stampz

It's Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge Blog time and this week our sponsor is Star Stampz.  Our theme is Spring Time and the image I've used is the adorable Spring Sun Shine.  She looks so darn happy enjoying the sun and the warm spring weather!

Here's what I used to create this ATC:

©Star Stampz Spring Sun Shine

Neenah® Classic Crest™ Solar White

Little Yellow Bicycle® Hello Spring's Garden Rows 12x12 

Copic® Markers

Zip Dry™ Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesives

Here's what I did to create this ATC:

Print image, color and trim closely.

Trim patterned paper for ATC base

Cut out sentiment and butterfly from patterned paper.

Adhere all layers as shown and adhere only one wing of butterfly, lift other wing away from paper.

I love that the paper I used had lots of little words and simple sentiments that could easily be trimmed out for use and were perfect for the image.  Simple, sweet and springy!

Thanks for stopping by today for a visit.  I hope you'll join us with your own interpretation of Spring Time.  See you again soon!

Hugs,

Lea
