Papertrey Ink March Release Countdown Day 2

Welcome back for day 2 of the Papertrey Ink March release countdown! Today the team is showcasing some really fun and beautiful new products to usher in spring! My first card features an unexpected new favorite: the Country Rooster Die and coordinating Country Rooster Stencil Collection. 

I've also used the new Framed in Florals Hot Foil Plate with silver foil. I cut the panel using the Rounded Rectangles: Pierced Die to give it some added detail.

Mr. Rooster is cut from Vintage Cream cardstock and then colored and stenciled with dye ink. I adhered the wing using foam squares and then glued the red portion using liquid glue. The legs are adhered to the back using clear tape and foam squares.

As promised, the background panel is stenciled using the Stems and Blooms Stencil Collection. This is a collection of individual little stencils for each leaf, flower, and then a stencil for the flower centers. I had fun creating the border and then adding some brown ink splatter.

The flowers and foliage are from the Simply Birds Die set that was showcased yesterday and the sentiment is from the Praying for You Sentiments II Stamp/Die set. 

My next card for today uses the new Basket of Blooms Stamp Set! Rather than creating a springtime themed card, I decided to pull in another prayer sentiment. I like having cards like this on hand to give at a moment's notice!

I also did some stenciling using the previously released In the Meadow Stencil Collection. I used it on an Easter card I shared last week and I just wasn't ready to put it away just yet! It created the perfect backdrop for this gorgeous basket of blooms.

I couldn't find my scalloped edge dies, so I used the Border Bling: Scalloped Frame to cut out the cute lace border for the bottom of the card. More gingham for the background, of course! ha ha! I added some glitter and sequins and some brown splatter to the stenciling for detail!

Thanks for fluttering by!
