Today's House Mouse and Friends Blog challenge is to create a card with a spring theme. I was stumped. I didn't have a spring stamp so I decided to case a favorited kite card I had seen Yvette create several years ago. Here is her card: Let's Go Fly a Kite! by Yvette at Splitcoaststampers
This HM image is a RAK from Emma. Thanks Emma. The name of the image is I Can't Catch It.
I also wanted to try the Sponging Sky technique that was in last weeks Inkling. Thanks Jeanne. Great tutorial.
