Watch out for ducks crossing

I'm just loving all of the Spring papers in the stores right now. After a dreary, rainy winter it's nice to be surrounded by some brightness.

For today's card, I chose to match some papers from an Easter pack with a cute digi from Pollycraft. I chose bright colours for my colouring (with Copics, of course) and a simple sketch for the design.

Challenges:

• Critter Sketch - green & yellow
• Cupcake Inspirations - inspired by picture (on the right)

• Dream Valley Challenges - flowers
• Papertake Weekly - anything goes
• Scrappy Frogs - anything goes
• The Ribbon Reel - use at least one of these colours - red, yellow, green, blue
• Top Tip Tuesday - anything goes

Spring is (really) coming

Here is card that I created for my Mom (who is still half-buried in snow). I used a wonderful digital stamp image from Tales from Pollycraft called "Follow the Leader", along with Basic Grey papers, to make a card that just feels like Spring to me. I only used 4 Copic colours and I added more shading than normal.

As usual I'm entering this card in a few challenges:

• I Love Digi - sketch
• Polkadoodle - wings
• C.R.A.F.T. - flowers

I linked my card on the Play Date Cafe challenge (which was to use light yellow, deep yellow and white) although I think I actually used too much green to technically qualify. But using lots of yellow is such a departure for me that I wanted to share my result.
