Ahhh Spring....

I always know it's spring when I see my first robin.....and no, I haven't seen one yet, but hopefully soon.  So for now, a card with another little bird from the Crazy Birds set, and some sunny colours to brighten the day.


Water colours again, and a Spellbinders die to cut out and mat the image.  The same DP has been used for the mat and the upper punched border.

For the background, I've added some floral stamping, using the Touch of Whimsy stamp set from Penny Black.  I didn't colour these, but I did add some glitter to some of the flowers.

No further embellishment...just the sentiment using a stamp from Printworks.  I'm sure that is what we are all wishing for!

Thanks for stopping by.
