Thinking of Spring


Can only think of it as it's not happening any time soon even with Easter just around the corner!!

Sue over at Stampotique has chosen a theme of Spring and across at the PanPastelUk challenge site they have a photo for inspiration.

The background is a mix of wild honey, ripe persimmon and mustard seed distress ink and splashed with water.  The background script is stamped in olive green stazon.  The flower is stamped in versamark and embossed in black embossing powder.  The dragonfly was stamped onto a thick vellum in black stazon and cut out.

    Germany calling!!! It's 8.30pm and i'm the only one still up so i'm having a good browse and must say i love your brighter than bright tag especially amongst all you other lovely stuff! The Utah pics too are superb.... That is certainly the only kind of snow to like. Great how you managed to find all that stash there too.
