Less is More - Spring challenge

This week's challenge over at Less is More is "Spring".

They have provided a great tutorial on producing sentiments on your computer using text boxes.  This is something I've always wanted to know how to do so would like to thank Chrissie and Mandi very much for posting the instructions.

I started with the sentiment on the computer and printed it out onto a 6"x6" card base.  I then inked up my stamp (Soldago Sprig from Rubber Stampede) using Stampin Up Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive inkpads which matched the colours in the sentiment and stamped the image to the side of the sentiment.

Thanks for looking.

    This is superb Karen... by the way you have linked it back to our blog instead of yours, could you do another link please?
    To get back to this card... your sentiment is fabulous and I'm so pleased that the tutorial was useful to you! It gives me great satisfaction to see this!
    See you next week!
