To start this card I picked out the paper I wanted to use for my background from the Springtime Paper Pad.  I die cut the butterfly patterned paper using the scalloped frame die from the Frames and Flags Die Set and used the banner die from the Basic Frames Die Set to cut out the cloud paper.

I then stamped these gorgeous images from the Spring Haul Stamp Set.  I colored the images with copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating die set.

Next, I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Spring Haul Stamp Set, onto gray cardstock and white heat bossed.  I then fussy cut around the sentiment.  

I assembled my card using gray cardstock for the base, popping up the images and sentiment with foam tape for some dimension!

For finishing touches on this card I added accents with a white gel pen, a little glitter, glossy accents, a few sparkling sequins, and a white bow!  Now it's time to get your paws inky creating a project with a Spring Has Sprung Theme using your Newton's Nook Designs products.  Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge!  Hope to see you there!
