Spring is on my mind...in a TALL way :)

Good Morning fellow bloggers. I am feeling up to the challenge...to make a card for more than one challenge. After blog hopping last night and this morning I found my one card I made can be entered into 8...yes 8challenges. That is the most I have done with one card since I started blogging 2 months ago. Happy Happy Joy Joy :)

Here is it! I made a Tall card...my first ever! The card base measures 9X4 and can fit into a #10 envelope. How much fun is that?!?!
Anyways I was at Michaels...surprise, surprise (my home away from home) when I found a package of Tim Holtz fragments. They were on clearance so I bought them :) I didn't know what to do with them so I went to Tim's website to watch a tutorial on these so cute clear tiles. He being the master (right!?!?) of all things altered took scraps and attached them to these tiles. I then knew what I was going to do with them. I went through my scrap container and pulled out my springy paper. What a great way to use up those little pieces of scrap. I usually just give my too small pieces to my boys so they can cut and paste and make things. I attached my scraps with glossy accents and tada this is how they came out!!
The spring cutout is from Stretch your Imagination cartridge. I cut this out and cut off the spring flowers that are attached to this cut. Instead of the dotted "i" I put a button.
I scalloped the purple paper using my corner rounder with the guide removed (another tutorial idea). With alittle stitching aound the spring sentiment and circle and my card was finished.
I hope you like my spring card!

    Love the tall card idea. Was looking at envelopes at Walmart yesterday, thinking,,,why can't these affordable envelopes be used for my cards? Hence......tall cards. I'm thrilled!!!
