Missing my flowers...

Ok, enough is enough!  I've made plans for a week away from all of this ice and snow.  I won't be heading to the sunny south, but somewhere in between where it should feel like spring...my type of weather.  I hope to be bringing some of those temperatures back with me too!


So, just in case you have forgotten, these are what flowers look like....aren't they lovely?  I'm sure they will brighten someone's day, and in card format they are available at any time of year!  This is the lovely Cyclamen image, available from Just Inklined, and once again I have coloured with my copics.

I have used the Spellbinders Labels Twenty Two die to cut around the top of the image, but fussy cutting the leaves.  The fancy mat behind is made with the Joy Craft Lacey Square Frame die, and I have inked the embossed areas with DI.  The DP is from the First Edition Summer Breeze collection, while the ribbon and gems are from my stash.

Hang in there everyone, surely winter cannot last forever.  Let's just hope our spring and summer are all that we hope for.
