					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Still no snow, only flurries and lots of rain until today. This year we have a very mild Winter for sure.  A Winter season with Spring temperature.</p>
<p>But today I am sharing a clean and simple card with Spring theme using my new favorite stamp set and dies, and papers. My card is inspired by the sketch from <a href="http://alwaysplayingwithpaper.blogspot.ca/2016/01/the-challenge-55-sketch.html">The Challenge #55</a> that I twist around <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p><a href="http://alwaysplayingwithpaper.blogspot.ca/2016/01/the-challenge-55-sketch.html"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/3.bp.blogspot.com/-JFw0U_q4QGA/Vl0thFwVgUI/AAAAAAAAcBk/A3EJRz80ZmA/s1600/55.png?resize=360%2C360" alt="" width="360" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>First I on a <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8651">Watercolor paper</a>, I stamped the flowers, leaves and springs from <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9119">Springtime Wishes</a> with <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=950">Black Archival Ink Pad</a>, heat set them with my <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=510">Craft Heater</a>, added the <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9097">matching Thin Cuts</a> on them and then run them through my Evolution Advanced die cutting machine. And after that I watercolor them using <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=1002">Watercolor Pencils</a> using Pentel Aquash watercolor medium brush. When they half dry, I splash some water on them straight from the pencil using the same brush. It was fun. Honestly that was a trial but it worked <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f600.png" alt="😀" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

<p>While waiting for them to dry, I prepared the card base using <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9065&amp;ci=3879">Charlotte Papers</a> papers. I added some gold glitter tape on it. And then after every piece well dried, I added them on the card using glue dots and 3D foam tape. I stamped the sentiment from the <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9119">Springtime Wishes</a> using <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=712">Black Exclusive Ink Pad</a>. Then I thought those flowers need some bling, so I added some clear gems on them. My card is done and ready to send out.</p>
