Spring is Springing

 Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I am playing along with The Paper Players, Daisy Chain, The Flower Challenge, and Challenge Up Your Life. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

The Peddlers Pack stamps never disappoint. Their stamps are of excellent quality and the large images cover a card nicely. They also have a nice shadowing effect using stippling as part of the design.  

I simply colored the crocuses and lilacs in shades of purple using alcohol markers as a base. I then added watercoloring and some colored pencils for detail.

The sentiment is so fitting for this card. I wanted a border but didn't want to obstruct the colored image so bordering it with vellum seemed to have made sense.

Challenges Entered:
The Paper Players: Theme Challenge- PP531
Challenge Up Your Life: #133- Flowers


Michigan has had a stretch of nice weather lately. My husband and I decided to take advantage of the warm weather and take a walk during lunchtime. While walking in the woods I came upon a pile of brown leaves surrounded by snow. That is when I noticed it... a bunch of Crocuses. Oh my, I couldn't have been happier. Things are getting better and I am hoping this is a sign of a new fresh start.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. Lots of good crafting vibes headed your way. I hope you all have a fantastic day and please stay safe and healthy.

All the best,
