Summer's coming....or maybe it's here!

Welcome to another beautiful day!  Our daytime temperatures are going to be in the 70's again today.....unbelievable for March, but I'll take it.  We had a dream winter this year, with hardly any snow or really cold temperatures.  I'm sure it's because I bought snow tires this year, and a bag of salt to put by the front door.  It must work like insurance, or preventative medicine.


So how about a card that fits the weather?  This is an image from The Stamping Bazaar, and a great image for a little guy.  I've kept it very simple with no extra embellishments, just some stickles and layering with my Nestie Labels Eight die.  The middle layer uses the same paper as the background, but I added some distress inks to give it an watery look.

Thanks for visiting, and with luck you are having some great weather too!  Enjoy!
