I am anxiously awaiting the smell of Lily of the Valley and Lilacs. Winter, however, took it's time coming and now it just does not know when to leave. I was happy to see a few Spring type challenges, to get me in the spirit of the season.
First may I just say that I had so much fun water coloring this, it made me silly! I started with a white panel, embossed it on my Cuttlebug with a Darice folder of half a tree. Having not used my Art Impression stamps in quite some time, I decided to get them out and have a play. They are the bridge, clouds, pond/w rocks, and grass. The bunny and bird are from IO, with the mom being an Anna Griffin die. I tried to do mostly no line water coloring on my scene. There is Wink of Stella added to the sentiment and the water.
These will be entered for the Spring is in the Air Challenge at Use Your Stuff #257. I will also enter this in the Cuttlebug Mania Challenge with the theme "Mother.
Thanks for taking a look! Have a wonderful day!
