Anna-Karin<\/a> made a notebook with a vintage spring flower postcard as the focal point. The card comes from Tim Holtz Palette Ephemera pack. T<\/a>he cover was made from Tim’s Backdrops Vol. 4 paper<\/a> and the main sentiment comes from Simon Says Stamp Laugh in Flowers.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbara<\/a> created two spring flower tags using some new dies from Sizzix’s Vault 2 release for Tim Holtz: Boutique<\/a> – Watch Gears<\/a> and Wildflowers from Vault 1<\/a>.

Cheiron<\/a> created a mini canvas painted with Distress Paints<\/a> and scribbled into with Distress Watercolor Pencils<\/a>.

Emma<\/a> created a Stampers Anonymous Etcetera panel<\/a>. She used a combination of Tim Holtz Sizzix Dies, including Vault Wildflowers<\/a> and Vault Boutique<\/a> to surround the ethereal image of the young girl, which is taken from the Tim Holtz Paper Dolls Portraits<\/a> pack. To complete the panel, she added idea-ology Adornment Flourishes<\/a> and a quote sea<\/a>l.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kath<\/a> created a card to remind us that despite the crazy “can’t make up it’s mind” weather, signs of Spring are everywhere around us using Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Vault 2 Bouquet<\/a> and Alphanumeric Bulletin<\/a> Thinlits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macarena<\/a> made a vibrant pink background and combined it with a grungy panel. She used the Tim Holtz Sizzix Lovestruck Colorize<\/a> die and Spellbinders Aster Etched<\/a> dies. She also gave a touch with Tim Holtz Fragments<\/a> stamp set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maura<\/a> is not so patiently waiting for spring flowers to emerge from the snow. Also, today is the total solar eclipse in her region, so she created a night page for her flowers. She used Katkin Krafts Dance With Dahlias stamp set<\/a>, Simon Says Stamp White Pigment ink<\/a>, Simon Says Stamp Dazzling Clear Gems,<\/a> and created her eclipse with Simon Says Stamp Rainbow Splash Rainbow pack.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meihsia<\/a>  was inspired to create a mixed media tag using   Tim Holtz Sizzix WILDFLOWER STEMS 1 Thinlits Die<\/a> and Tim Holtz Sizzix FUNKY NATURE ThinlitsDies<\/a> to create the spring flowers and decorated it with Tim Holtz Idea-ology Quote Chip Labels<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoey<\/a> used Tim Holtz Floral Outlines <\/a>to add a focus on her background. She then used Distress Spray Stain<\/a> + Distress Oxide Spray<\/a> to color the flower. She also used the new Vault thinlits (Boutique<\/a> for the rose and World Travel <\/a>for the Alphabet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
