I found inspiration recently in KarrenJ's Block Work post and have finally made a couple of cards using her technique. Here is my Spring/Easter version:
I am entering it in three challenges: Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Spring/Easter Mood Board, Happy Little Stampers March Stencil Challenge, Happy Little Stampers Challenge Anything With Dies.
I followed Karren's tutorial for the distress ink background and I find it really fun to make. Like Karren, I had to use square punches/dies to make my own stencil for the blocks step and then used my Spellbinders March Large Die of the month set for the bunny, flowers and word dies. This background is addicting. I made the card in a mini slimline size (6 1/4 x 3 1/4) so I had to make an envelope for it. Luckily my Envelope Punch Board had a really close size to this card!!
Happy Spring to you!

Wow! This card is beautiful! Love the way you combined stencils and dies. The background looks lovely and the die-cuts are really cute! Good to see you in the HLS gallery. Hope you will join us again this month. Nandini, DT
Thank you!!! So pleased to have been chosen a winner in this category!
This is wonderful! I love the monochromatic look to the block work. Thanks so much for linking to my blog post - I really appreciate it.
I enjoyed making it and another birthday card as well. Such a fun technique, and I wanted to give you credit for inspiring me!
