Puddle Play

Here's hoping that winter will soon be gone, and we can enjoy some of the pleasures of spring.  Otherwise, we'll be missing that season altogether.  I'd love to be outside readying the gardens, but that's not happening!  Still wearing my winter coat.  So here I have a card to remind us of warmer days.


This delightful image is one from Elizabeth Bell, titled Merry Weather....isn't she darling?  I've coloured her with copics, cutting and matting with the Spellbinders die - Scalloped Labels One.  As you can see, I have added some nice lush grass (I think I remember what that looks like..lol), and some DI to the edging.

The only embellishments are peel-offs...for the borders and the sentiment.  The card blank is one I have had for ages, already embossed, and more DI is sponged to make it it show.

Thank you all for stopping by, and here's hoping you have a warm sunny day.

    This is a lovely card Joyce and I adore the card blank! They look amazing with a little touch of DI or chalks etc. The image you have used is perfect and doesn't need any embellishments apart from your peel offs. Great card!! Thank you so much for entering the Crafty Calendar (Anything Goes) Challenge this month, lots of luck to you. Hugs Sue Pxxx DT
