The first sign of spring here in southern Indiana is blooming of redbud trees. They are so beautiful in clusters lining the highways. It is not happening soon as we are predicted to get 3-5 more inches of snow tonight. But, redbuds were the first thing I thought of when I saw the challenge at The Paper Players

The tree bases are one from Rubber Stampede. Then I stamped it again on scrap paper and cut out to make a mask off all but limbs. Then I used a stamp from SU's Gorgeous Grunge to stamp Melon Mambo over and over to fill the trees with redbud blossoms. The the sentiment and the grass area are from the new SU Sheltering Tree set. The base is Melon Mambo cardstock.
