Spring is in the air

Well it is if you ignore the chill wind and stand in the sunshine!!!
 
 But I must not complain, the daffodils and tulips are blooming and our garden is beginning to green up nicely so I guess that means our little amphibian friends will start appearing soon.
 
 
Supplies
Toadily by Penny Black
Acrylic Artist Trading Card - Daler Rowney
DP - Summer Bloom by Papermania
Loopy Rings die by Memory Box
Ribbon from stash
Copics 
This card actually started out as an experiment to see if I could use Copics on paper meant for acrylic paint.
It does have an interesting texture and yes it does present a challenge when blending but overall I have to say it works quite well.

Finally!

Do you know this is the first time I have been back in my studio for ny on 3 weeks!
 
What on earth have I been doing......
...well the garden has quite a few more plants in it....but it seems never ending...we come back from the garden centre with a car full of plants and the garden just swallows them up!!

we updated our Broadband.....speedier but very temperamental - hope it settles down soon
(the world as we know it ends when the teen cannot get on line)

 I have been busy with a bit of spring cleaning....
de-cluttering cupboards.....something I have been meaning to do for a long time

and as some of you know I got to go to the Harry Potter Museum last week
a surprise trip from my sweet hubby for our 19th Wedding Anniversary

...talking of our Anniversary here is the card I made for Peter

 I love the delicate Tattered Lace corner die I got recently from Hobbycraft.
