Happy Spring!

****Today is the last day to enter my giveaway here, I'll announce the winner tomorrow****



I've been busy creating projects for the Holiday Cards and More call, kind of odd creating for Christmas in March, but I thought I would share this card with you.  It's for a call from last year that didn't get picked up, but I thought it would be more seasonally appropriate than what I've been working on lately.

The birdhouse images was stamped in Honey and then color was added (very carefully so it didn't become a blurry mess) with a blending pen. 



Contrary to this card, the weather forecasters are predicting snow for our area this week.  We'll see.  Here in Northern Virginia snow ends up being mostly talk and not a lot of real stuff.

Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock:  Jillibean Soup - Homemad 6 Bean 6x6 pad; MME - Six by Six Two Happy Day 6x6 pad; CTMH - White Daisy cardstock
Stamps - WPlus9 - Spring Tags
Ink:  CTMH - Chocolate, Honey, Autumn Terracotta, Goldrush
Other:  Hydrangea Hippo - Crocheted Lace; Webster's Pages - Tutu Blue trim; May Arts - Burlap Twine; Le Box Boutique - Washi Tape; CTMH - Blending Pen and Dimensional Foam Tape; Tombow - Mono Adhesive
