12 Kits Of Occasions March 2019 - A Whimsical Garden

Hello friends.  It's the last day of March and I am truly hoping it's the last of Winter too...I am SOOOO ready for Spring!  Our lovely hostess Lisa has a FABULOUS kit she put together for all of us called A Whimsical Garden at the 12 Kits Of Occasions this month, and it definitely makes me think SPRING!  Lisa says she was inspired by a little rabbit that comes to nibble grass in her yard each Spring and gave us wonderful images from Art Gone Wild stamp company and lovely, lovely papers from Cartabella.  Take a look at what we had to work with this month:

Lisa packed this kit with so much Spring time goodness and I loved every bit of it!  Lisa also has a couple of mini kits available to give away, so check out her blog here to find out how to win one!

So sit back and enjoy and see what Spring looks like from the Whimsical Garden perspective...

This DSP matched perfectly with the sentiment from Stampendous and the little frog from Art Gone Wild dancing in the puddles...I colored the frog up with some Copics and WOS and then layered with some Berry Sorbet cs and finished with a few of the PPP Metallic Rose Gold sequins that were included in our kit.

This card was made mostly from one of the DSP included in the kit, and I wanted to make it resemble a store front, so I die cut a frame (PTI's Pierced Feature Frames) from some kraft cs that I had stamped using SU!'s Hardwood background stamp, and then inlaid the DSP to make it look like the shops front window.  The top of the DSP had the striped awning design, so I fussy cut it out and added it to the top with some dimensionals behind it to give the illusion of depth.  I thought this sentiment from the kit was fitting to use on the window and simply finished off by adding the wooden button Lisa included in the kit.

This card was so incredibly simple to put together and actually reminds me of a Marybeth card...she always has the most beautiful CAS cards!!  For this card I simply used a strip of one of the DSP and also a strip of the Darice Pearlescent paper that matched the tiny die cut bow (Mama Elephant).  Lastly I added the 3 bunnies from Impression Obsession and had a sweet CAS card!

This is another Art Gone Wild image (Being There) that was so much FUN to color (Copics) and then simply layered with some of the DSP and green cardstock.  The "hello" die cut is from PPP and the "friend" part of the die cut I added to the inside along with a few strips of DSP and cs.  I also added a few more of the PPP Metallic Rose Gold Sequins...love, love, LOVE them!!  :0)

And last but not least is my favorite I think!  The papers in this kit were just so BEAUTIFUL and I especially liked the 2 I used on this card along with the Pale Peony cs and die cuts Lisa included in the kit.  The little floral (Let Love Bloom) was colored in with a few Copics and I finished with a piece of seam binding ribbon and a few more of the PPP Metallic Rose Gold Sequins.

Here they are ALL together and I just couldn't be happier with the way they all turned out!  Thank you SO much Lisa for such a WONDERFUL kit...it truly was a joy to work with!
