Where the Buffalo Roam

 

I'm a fan of nature cards and today's card has a national parks theme. Buffalo, mountains, and pine trees all make me think of parks like Yellowstone.

My card is made with several great brad mainstays in the EO store. After making the primary cardstock elements, I simply added the brads to give it more interest, texture and dimension.

Sun & Clouds Brads

Welcome Spring!

 
Well, we're in mid-March, the time has changed, March Madness is starting soon, and it's getting a little warmer where I live. A few daffodils are blooming and the trees are starting to form buds. Whew! We're getting close to moving into full blown spring. Thank goodness!

Today I've made a 5 x 7 card to welcome the new season. I have used the new Tulip Brads as part of the banner on the balloon and the new Mini Butterflies trim the top of the balloon. I added the pretty Yellow Roses Brads on the basket. They really dress the balloon up a lot! I added Daisy Brads to adorn the banner. I also used Green Pattern Washi Tape to mat the card in a perfect green scroll design. Finally I added three blue jewels to the bottom of the balloon. I should also mention that this balloon pattern came from an image in Cricut Design Space.
