Dreaming....

Although it may be Easter weekend, the signs of spring are hard to find.  I recall in years past, when we wore spring outfits and enjoyed time outside in the warm sun.  Not this year.  We are still wearing winter coats and the weather man is calling for snow?  I'm sure hoping he has it wrong!


As a reminder that warmer days are coming, I've made a card with lots of bright spring colours.  I've used watercolours to do up this sweet stamp, and a number of dies to cut it out and frame it.  The little butterflies are actually fussy cut from washi tape....nice easy touch.  

Items used:
Wild Rose Studio stamp - In the Meadow
Spellbinders dies -  Labels Eight and Decorative Labels Eight

So happy Easter everyone!   Hoping you all get to spend time with family and friends, and maybe even enjoy a bit of sunshine....miracles do happen!

  9. Oh no Joyce, surely the weatherman is mistaken! Your card is so sweet and hopefully at some point, we can pick flowers in our own yards but for now, I'm not holding my breath! Have a wonderful Easter!
