Spring flowers

Hello lovely people,

This is my second post today so if you are looking for my guest DT card for A Little Bit Crafty then please scroll down :-)

It certainly feels to me like Spring is well and truly here with all this lovely sunshine and everything growing away in my garden, so now I have to split my time between gardening and crafting.  What about the housework?  Hmm, best not go there!

Anyhoo,  we have a new challenge for you at All Dressed Up and our theme is...

SPRING

I bet you never would have guessed that with all my waffle about Spring at the start of this post ;-)
I've gone for pretty spring shades and flowers... oooh yes, those flowers are from my newly acquired (and quite enormous!) stash of WOC flowers.  I got all sorts of types, sizes and colours and am having lots of fun using them :-D


Of course, I will just have to share a closer look at this little cutie.  There is a touch of Stickles too but in very small dots so it's mostly invisible in the photos!

Challenges I am entering;
1. Divas by Design (Spring/Easter)

4.  Sweet Stampin' (flowers)
5.  A Gem of a Challenge (Spring is in the air)

    The more I look at this little girl, the more I love her hair and dress... I think she just may happen to be a new girl in my neighborhood. :)
    Just love these purple shades and your wonderful coloring, Kat.
    Wishing you a fab day!
