I've noticed that spring is a common theme for challenges lately. Seems like we all want it to come! So I decided to make a spring themed card. We're trying to get my husband hooked on Downton Abbey, so last night we watched the first one and I got out my pencils and colored. This House Mouse is one of the images I did.
Robins are always the bird to watch for when looking for spring. We usually have a couple pair nesting around us and it is so fun to watch them feed their babies. They are all mouth, waiting for that bug to drop in!
Just a humorous note. When I was searching for a sentiment to put on this card, I almost used one from the same stamp set that says "yum". My daughter wanted me to. Guess I've passed my sick sense of humor on to her!
I'm entering this card in:

This card is beautiful. I love the colored embossed panel and your coloring of the image is just lovely. Nice sentiment and I think you made the right decision by not listening to your daughter on this one. LOL A sense of humor is so important in life. It was great to see you here at House Mouse & Friends this week and we do hope to get to see more of your cards in the future. Enjoy your evening.
ReplyDeleteThat embossed panel at the back is devine, and your image is coloured beautifully. Roll on Spring I say!

What a lovely spring card. We are having a gray wet day today but with our lack of rain I don't think you'll hear anyone complain about it (and you don't have to shovel rain out of the driveway before going anywhere). I love the pretty colors in your card. I think "YUM!" is the perfect sentiment for that card.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card, the image is so sweet . Thank you for joining us at CCM&M this time.
