I hate that I'm getting to my HM challenge card so late, but it's not TOO late, so here is my card for this week. This week's challenge was to do a spring card. I recently acquired this stamp, and this sure says SPRING to me. I actually got out in my own garden this week and began "digging into Spring", so this sentiment seemed quite appropriate. The Striped DP is from DCWV Nanna's Nursery that I picked up at Michael's, and it has some great papers in it. The other purple piece is SU's "Flowers for You" cut out with SU's Sizzix Top Note die cut. I colored it with my Copics and I'm trying to train myself to stamp a second image and indicate what colors I used on various parts of the image. (I'm a very visual person it seems.) Thanks for stopping by. The DT has some adorable "Spring" cards on the HM site so be sure to check them out.

Hi Karen, you're late with your card - I'am late with my commenting this week - where does time go??? It's a gorgeous card - and the stripey paper matches the image perfectly. I just love this image (has to be one of my favourites) and you've coloured it so beautifully.
