Hello all and I hope that your week has been going well? A cold and frosty week so far, but also with some lovely blue skies and bright sunshine - even if it's definitely on the chilly side! I broke up the ice on the pond this morning which was a good inch or so thick, so that the birds could get a drink - and topped up the bird feeders. Needless to say, within a few minutes it was like rush hour in the garden - they were obviously waiting for breakfast to be served! Grumpy Poppy the cat watched them for a few minutes from the back door, yawned and then went back to her 'throne' (i.e. the chair next to the radiator in the conservatory, complete with blanket and cushion! Spoilt or what?!).
Anyway, whilst dreaming of Spring and summery colours, I recently made this card for a friend's birthday
The cute image is from Mo Manning, coloured with Graphit pens and a touch of pencil.
The backing papers are from LOTV. I've added die cut flowers using a Britannia die, and used a Spellbinders edge die. The spotty ribbon is from stash, with an LOTV sentiment tag and a LaLaLand banner. Very girly, but I hope you like it.
Enjoy the rest of your week - and keep warm,
Back soon,
