Happy Spring!

Good Morning Everyone, how are you all?
I hope you are having a good week so far.

Well, my calendar say's it's Spring but the British weather has other ideas it seems. Never mind, I decided to make a bright Spring Time card using another one of Jane's gorgeous images from Janey's Digi Designs.
I love Polyanthus, they are such cheerful flowers which come in a variety of colours.
I have coloured mine in yellow - my favourite.


Items Used
Digi Stamp - Polyanthus  from Janey's Digi Designs coloured with Promarkers
Martha Stewart PATP punch Vintage Floral
Cheery Lynn Leaf Flourish Strip
Cheery Lynn Small Exotic Butterfly
Sentiment ~ My Creative Time Teeny Tag Greetings 



Jane has loads more gorgeous floral images which you can find in her Etsy shop here. If you would like some more inspiration then please pop over to look at Janey's Digi Designs blog.


I would like to enter my card into the following fabulous challenges:

Bye for now

    Hi Sue
    British weather does not really have a clue, does it?(LOL) I wish a bit of sunshine came out and we had a good start to Spring!
    Love your card, certainly makes up for the gloomy day with this fab colour palette you used... bright and cheerful and I love the flowers you used too.
