This month, we have designs to share by some special guests! A few of the A Muse designers and instructors have been working to create some fun spring and summer Elzybells cards for you! So to start off, our first set of cards are these two cuties by Erika and Elena!
SPRING!
by Erika
THINK SPRING
by Elena
You'll notice this card as the design used in our blog banner! It was created by Heather Meeson, so here are a few comments from her about her design:
When I was first brainstorming design ideas for this image, coloring the letters in an interesting way was one of my top priorities. The area inside the letters is large and open in comparison with the detailed flowers and animals surrounding it ... making it a rather large focal point.
After coloring "spring" in a solid color on a few designs, I really wanted to give the image a bit of depth, separating the words from the elements around it. To accomplish this I paper pieced the letters and then popped them up (cutting dimensional tape into small bits to fit).
The last of our eggcellent Easter series, today we feature the Juggling Eggs stamp! We hope you've enjoyed these eggciting ideas from our design team. We have fun spring cards to share next, so stay tuned!

Edited to add a note from Novell about creating the scallops: "The scallops were done by stamping the A Muse Scallop Line stamp on the A Muse Black/White bold stripe notecard, then carefully cutting just outside of the scalloped line. I then adhered that piece to the A Muse Pink Awning notecard with dimensionals to pop the black/white awning up."
Next in our week of sneak peeks is "Girl in Car" by Heather Meeson! This design also features a new sentiment and the new "Daisy Trio" stamp. Check back tomorrow for another fun peek! We also added a few more Elzybells classes to the list, so take a look to see if there are any near you.
