Spring is Sprung :-)

Having recently bought a new bunch of stamps, I couldn't wait to get colouring with them and this particular image fits so well with the current M4M challenge - don't you just love flowers :-)

She is me in so many ways (not just the longish wavy brown hair and jeans).

Watering my plants becomes one of my daily tasks as this weather warms up so nicely :-)

Spring Inspiration - Clean and Simple

Hi Copic Lovers,

This is my very late post that should have gone up yesterday.

But I was feeling unwell and so it is only getting up today!

For our Spring-time challenge I have made a set of three identical clean and simple cards.

I went for a very spring-time image with a flower and a cute little chickie.  It is a Designed to Delight image I think I won awhile back now.

I went for a clean and simple design for a change, because sometimes I get sick of it taking me two hours to make a single card.  And sometimes I just feel like colouring in and not spending most of my time fussing with layers of paper and embellishments.  So I can say that I really had fun making these little cards.  I am sure they will come in handy in my stash.

The Copics I used are:

Pinks: RV06, RV04, RV02

Yellows:YR23, Y15, Y02

Greens: YG23, YG03, YG11

Not long now until the Copic Conference.  I can't wait!! Head over here to check out all the details if you are like me and just cant bear to miss out!!  I cant wait to colour all weekend with no interruptions (except chattering) and learn new skills.

You still have a week to enter our Spring Challenge...so get your cards in!

I hope you had a lovely weekend.
