Happy Spring

Spring has definitely arrived - the rain is pouring down, the camelia flowers are being blown off by the wind, and there is fresh snow on the mountains. Yikes!

Well, when the weather isn't cooperating at least I can make cards that are Spring-y. I finished this one off last night and I'm pretty pleased with it. I used a lot more pattern than I usually would so I'm a little concerned it might be overly busy but still...

Anyway, the images are a couple of freebies from a brand-new digi-stamp company "Tiddly Inks Digital".  You absolutely have to check out her work as it is great! I had hoped to submit this for the DT challenge but wasn't able to finish it in time as Luke came down with a screaming ear infection. I will still enter the card into a few challenges though, as follows:

• One Stop Craft Challenge - feeling fruity (the tree is growing "heart" fruit)
• Corrosive Challenges - Easter or Spring
• Everybody Art Challenge - Spring
• Fab N Funky - Spring is in the air
• Little Red Wagon - rolling into Spring
• Simon Says Stamps - distressing (used brown distress ink on the edges of the mattes)
• Cute Card Thursday - oval or egg shape (the image & matte are oval shaped)
• Totally Gorjuss - hearts

I also used the sketch from MAWTT but I haven't entered it into the challenge as I didn't fulfill the other conditions (which were to use brown/pink & ribbon).
