Good morning, it's the end of the week and almost the end of the month- time just flies by! I don't like to wish time away as it goes too fast already but I really won't be sorry to see some warmer weather arrive- I'm fed up with the cold and damp- I want spring!!!
I cheered myself up by colouring this lovely image, Rustic Flowers, from Jan's Digi Stamps- Jan is kindly sponsoring our challenge at Crafty Catz this week. It's Christine's turn to host and she has chosen the optional twist of 'Three favourite colours'. I love blue. purple and green together-so fresh and pretty, makes me think of spring. With hindsight I wish I'd used a different embossing folder- this one looks wobbly in the photo and makes my eyes go funny!
There's plenty of lovely inspiration from my fabulous teamies over at Crafty Catz, so why not hop over now to check them out? We'd love to see what you are creating too- with/or without the twist- it's your choice!
Thanks for visiting,
Have a lovely weekend
Chris

A wonderful beautifully coloured image in fresh Spring colours Chris, (can't wait to see the crocus peeping through the soil your colours brought crocus to mind for some reason,)

Your card is really beautiful Chris and the shading in your colouring for a design so delicate is amazing. Beautifully offset on that textured background. Love this Michelle x
I love the embossing folder you used with that image! It also goes great with the stitched die you used to cut the image! So happy you shared your inspiration! Hope to see more really soon!

What beautiful coloring on your vase and florals and love the embossed background. Beautiful card. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Dare.
Lovely card and very effective with the colours here, fabulously designed.. x
What a pretty card Chris.
You colored the flowers awesome.
I want Spring as well Chris and worries me there's not much sign of bulbs peeking through yet, not even the Snowdrops.
I love your card and the mesh embossing folder looks lovely, personally I like the random pattern.

Hubby planted some snowdrops many moons ago so I could see them from the sink! {for a joke} and Yes! they are here bobbing their tiny heads, so spring is a coming. So makes me smile
Beautiful card Chris, I love that gorgeous flower image, I thought about buying this image a week or two ago, now I think I must buy having seen it coloured up so beautifully. Have a good weekend.

Love how you've colored this spring bouquet! Especially pretty against the pewter jug with the shadow at the base - just gorgeous!
Lovely card Chris. Beautiful coloring of the image. Thank you for entering the Anything Goes Challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps and for using one of Jan's images.
Hubby pointed out the first cluster of snowdrops in the garden yesterday. I am so glad January is nearly at an end and we can look forward to spring. I love this image you hvee coloured. The pewter jug is awesome and I rather like the embossing folder you have used. Hugs Mrs A.

Chris, I love the texture on this card! So pretty and yes, so invites spring! Who isn't ready for warmer weather? Thanks for your sweet comment on my crop bag post! I can see well enough to cut paper and with a magnifying glass, can measure! I wish I could color again! As it is, whenever I type, I just KNOW I must have some typos! xx
Thank you for the comment on my blog and no idea about the no permission to follow? will check my setting although not sure what to look for lol
