Isn't it Spring yet?
I need spring to be be here, so I made a pastel card this week-end. We've had so much snow, but I'm hoping my positive chanting will eventually come true!! - There's no snow, it's warm outside, there's no snow, it's warm outside.
Nope - it's not working yet - there's still lots of snow!!
Maybe this card will speed up the melting and bring on some sunnier days. The Wee Memories Challenge WMC47: "Spring is Near, Green is here!" has inspired me to "think spring".

I bought this stamp last week at my LSS (All the stamps were are on sale!!)
Even though I'm not a "cat person" I couldn't resist Mavis with a DAISY from Stamping Bella. I stamped the image on PTI Stamper's Select White card stock so that I could colour her with my copic markers.
I "fussy cut" the image as I wasn't sure how I was going to position it on the card.| I had already created the floral embossed image on white card stock, so I was able to 'fiddle' with Mavis and the sentiment until I found a happy compromise. She looks as though she's standing in a field of daisies!!
The embossed images were coloured using some water colour pencils. I think next time I'm going to try my copics to see if it will give better coverage.
The sentiment is from PTI's Wreath for All Seasons. I like the separate words and fonts, as it allows many options for placing the sentiment. Finally I added a few little yellow pearls to finish off the card. The peachy coloured matting was a piece from my scrap box, and the card base is Stampin'Up's Certainly Celery.
This sentiment, from PTI Vintage Picnic Sentiments, was the perfect wording for this card. I've had this little flower punch for a long time and since it matched Mavis's daisy I used it to accent the inside of the card.
