(finally) Spring!

This is the feature today on the Whimsy Inspiration Blog. I thought I'd share it here too.
I was all set to celebrate the arrival of Spring and we've had snow instead of bright blossoms! This was not at all what I had in mind. I guess I'll have to have Spring on paper for a little longer! I love the animal stamps from Whimsy and enjoy finding new uses for them. This is the Fall Fox and I thought it would be a perfect Spring image since it has the cute little butterfly. The sentiment is just printed out on my computer so I could color the letters to match. My flowers had to have some sparkle, so they each have some Stickles on top. I hope it brightens your day!

Image-Whimsy Fall Fox
Copics-E30, E53, E35, G07, G14, YR24, Y21, B21, B23
