This card is being entered into the following challenges:
- Whiff of Joy Challenge, no. 76, which has a sketch from the very talented Bev
- Quixotic Challenges, and they are asking entries to Make a Splash
- Our Creative Corner, lots of Blooming Blossoms
- The Creative Cottage Challenge, Going Green - well there's lots of this!
- Rainbow Lady's Challenge, 100 - April Showers
The image is Whiff of Joy, Willow in the Rain. I have coloured with Copics, but I am not too happy with my blending this time around. Probably out of practice a bit. The cardstock us Bazzill Bling, and the papers are the lovely Basic Grey Kyoshi - there are so many different colourways. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, with leaves punched from various punches, with stickles used to add an itty bitty sparkle.
Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate your comments.

Ooh this is so pretty Val! love those papers and the roses are so pretty:).
ReplyDeleteDon't know about you but our garden needed the rain, everything has come into flower together and was in danger of being one big burst and then nothing until the summer stuff came through. And the lawn is like a desert after wnter, looks much better after a cut, feed and the rain.
Great to see you blogging again
