On my first card, I white embossed the Belles Vignes on white card stock that was die cut using the largest of the Flourished Star Pattern dies. Then I used a rainbow pad to sponge on the colors. I also white embossed, die cut & sponged all the beautiful butterflies from the Trois Papillon & Butterfly & Bugs sets. The greeting, from Spread Your Wings, was done the same way & I added a few die cut flowers from the Birds & Nest dies. Â
Here’s a look at the inside. Since I didn’t use designer paper, I sponged & stamped then added one leftover butterfly.
Supplies:

My second card uses the beautiful Spread Your Wings set along with the Dogwood Mini. I already had it in my mind to do a window opening with the nest inside & I wanted it to look like the nest was resting in a dogwood tree. After coloring & die cutting the birds (I colored them to look like bluebirds), I colored & fussy cut the dogwood branch 3 times. I also fussy cut an extra front facing wing on each blue bird & popped it up for a little dimension.
IÂ added a large piece of the ODBD Shabby Rose paper behind the window and also around the greeting circle. A few single dogwood flowers were sprinkled on the lower right and I added some stickles to the flower centers. These are the Copics I used for this card.

I’m also entering the first card in the Chocolate, Coffee & Cards Challenge – Spring!
These are just stunning. Gorgeous colors on that first one and those butterflies are awesome.
Just gorgeous! The Belles Vignes stamp looks like it will be so versatile! Thanks for the inspiration!
Both are just beautiful, Julie! The first is so bright and cheery! It just pops, and I love the inside!Love the added Dogwood on the second!
All that white embossing – wow, it’s stunning, so lace-like. But you know how much I love birds – so totally beautiful as the first card is, the little birds win my heart. I love the way you have created it with the aperture. I have just used dogwoods on my card for the current ODBD Scripture challenge – the exchange rate is so bad I can’t afford to buy without a little boost like a win ;-).
Wow, both cards are gorgeous. I love the bright green with the white embossing, it really pops. You have chose perfect colors and design for your second card. I love the Spread Your Wings stamps. I am enjoying seeing how everyone is using it.
Your first card is stunning! Love that technique! And the second card is so soft and pretty!
Beautiful cards!
Bluebird and dogwood branches are a winning combination for me and you have done an outstanding job. I also love the greens in the butterfly card.
You are seriously blowing me away Julie! That first card is amazing!!! And I love the second card too! WOW!!!
Awesome, awesome colors on the 1st and love how you decorated the inside as well! Love the dogwood blossoms on the 2nd and all of the white space looks amazing! Fabulous job as usual!! HUGS!!!!
I just love the springy colors and designs on both of your creations, Julie!! Your colors are so cheery and fun and your use the embossing resist, embossed butterflies and your vivid coloration of the background are beyond gorgeous!! The second is so beautiful with the cherry blossoms!
hugs,
Chris
Oh my !! ur cards are stunning!!
Oh I knew I’d find a pop of color on your cards and I sure did! Beautiful emboss resist, and I love the addition of the cherry blossoms on the second one!
hugs,
Grace
Absolutely stunning cards, especially the 1st one. Love all the details and colors. Thanks for sharing
Wow! I love, love, love! the first card on your page. The white embossing on those beautiful, bright pastel colors is over the top. Your bird card is beautiful. I like the colors you chose and the birds outside a window. Right now, outside my window parent cardinals are pampering their brand new babies with nourishment and warmth. Everybody knows how beautiful the male cardinal is, but I wish you could see the female. She has the usual female coloring but instead of being dull-looking, her coloring is intense. It must be all the good things we have for her to eat in this neck of the woods…literally. 🙂
beautiful cards!! the first one is very elegant and superb!! the second one is awesome.. with the birds and the flowers… it just awesome!! nice coloring..
Oh my!! These are both absolutely stunning!! Love the vibrant colors with the white embossing on the first. The dogwood paired with the new bird/nest images is gorgeous!
Amazing creations both of them. Love the colors you used in the first and those two blue birds look so real! Simple gorgeous, Julie!
Love your beautiful cards!!!
What a gorgoues background! Wow!

Your first card is simply glorious in every way – I always look forward to seeing what amazing colors you have for us each month – you always inspire! But it’s your second card that has my jaw on the floor!!!! Words are not enough to tell you how much I love – every single perfect little detail on this card. Thank you Julie for sharing. Hugs and Blessings,
Audrey
Wonderful artwork Julie! Just love your bright, cheerful designs!!
Julie, what absolute beauties you have created. I love the green/yellow fading into one another….so creative!
All your cards are so eyecatching, but my favorite is the Happy birthday with the butterflies hovering over the yellow – green and the huge center of white..that white makes the other colors pop and so gives that surreal look…
Beautiful projects Julie! Love the bright colors on the first and the soft coloring on the second. Love them!
Wow, your cards are stunning! I especially like the first one! Thanks so much for the inspiration. Hugs, Gracie.
love your cards, especially the white embossing with the vibrant colors.
Outstanding work, as always. You always go that extra mile.
These are gorgeous!! I absolutely LOVE that white embossed card; stunning! And the bird card is so sweet, and beautiful!
Love the emboss resist and the colors you chose. The inside is as pretty as the outside. Love how you used the white on white background for the beautifully colored birds.
Beautiful cards. The first card is stunning and vibrant. Love the entire May release.
When I first saw the Belles Vignes stamp in this collection, I immediately thought to emboss this stamp and that’s exactly what you did. It turned out beautiful. Your cards are very pretty.
