It is beginning to feel a lot like spring here in South Texas...who am I kidding? It is already starting to feel like summer. It doesn't get very cold here so I appreciate every little bit that we have. In honor of the start of spring the new challenge at
The Paper Shelter is to create a
Spring Time card. As always our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro from
The Paper Shelter and they are offering you a fabulous prize of $30 to spend on their website if you use a Paper Shelter image or 3 digis if you use another. Fabulous prize either way!!
My mom's birthday was yesterday so I made this card for her special day. Last year I got her a shadow box that holds 4x6 pictures, I thought this would be a good way for her to display the cards I give her. However, me working on such a small card area is always a bit of a challenge, I like a lot of space:)
I used
Spring In the Heart by TPS (I just think she is so sweet) and colored it with Copics. I sponged the clouds using a cloud template I drew and cut out. The paper is My Minds Eye Dolled Up and the butterfly punch is Martha Stewart.
