Thinking of spring....

Good afternoon, I think this is a first for me this year...a card made 'just because'...not a DT card! 
It's been winter long enough now...fed up with cold, wet and dark to say nothing of ice and snow (although I do know that we've been very lucky here compared to what some people have had/are having!) ...I'm so looking forward to the spring. I made this card to cheer myself up. It's a very simple matted design featuring an Aurora Wings cutie, Spring Sprite. I used copics to colour her, added a stamped sentiment and distress ink around the edges.
Hope you're all enjoying a lovely weekend.

A really lovely card Chris, such a cute image, as always brilliant colouring and such lovely colours. A really sweet image which reminds me my youngest great-niece, she could play Little Orphan Annie and boy does she love to sing, she will be 4 in march, so cute.
