Well now that we have all this arctic weather I console myself with the thought that spring is just around the corner! I love spring when all the plants are coming back to life and we are full of hope that the summer will be a scorcher this year (only to be disappointed when it finally doesn't arrive). So my card was made with that in mind:
This little sweetie is a new stamp from Lili of the Valley, who currently have a sale on! I have followed a sketch again and I must say I am enjoying following sketches it takes away all the indecision of where to place things! The papers are from Nitwits and I have coloured with Copics. I have used a Spellbinder for the image and also for the sentiment which is computer generated. The butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch and I have put Stickles on them. Flowers from Wild Orchid and gems and ribbon from my stash. The old sewing machine was dusted off and I stitched around both edges. I would like to enter the following challenges:
