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.

This is so sweet Dawn. And you said you don't sponge well. HA! Fantastic. I tried this sky technique the other day and I definitely need practice. I just love your kit. Into my faves for sure!
