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.

Oh, for a little breath of spring

The winds are howling as I write this, and I don't want to even look outside, never mind go outside.  It could be snowing, but if it is....I don't want to know!  Too bad it is only December.

So how about a change today, with something to remind us of the better weather ahead.  My card today uses the Farm Gate image from Just Inklined.  Easy to colour and suitable for so many occasions, I've paired it up with some nice soft colours...I'm definitely thinking spring!

Supplies used:
Papers from Paper Mania - Burleigh Blue collection
Cheery Lynn die - City Girl Edger
Sentiment stamp from Printworks
Other - peel-offs, ribbons and gems.

Hope you are all keeping well.  Thanks for stopping by again, and make sure you stay warm!
