Time to smell the flowers....soon I hope!

Good morning this fine Monday (hopefully!)  I think spring has arrived, it just doesn't seem to know it's mind....it seems to be teasing us.  Our grass is starting to green, so that's a good sign.  I probably need to get out this week and pick up branches before it needs to be cut.  It still needs to warm up more before I start on the gardens though.


While I'm waiting, I thought I would colour up this wonderful image from Just Inklined, titled Spring Bouquet.  Working with my copics, I've tried to include all of the colours that I like to find in my garden.  For the small white flowers, I've added some liquid applique for a bit of dimension.

I've cut shapes out of the two DP, to create a simple frame.  The white designs and sentiment are rub-ons.....you know, those pretty embellishments purchased ages ago that have been forgotten and hidden away in a drawer!

Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to check through your stash.....it can almost feel like Christmas!
