Happy Day


 Hello, I've been huddling indoors for the last few days, not really enjoying the cold snap after the taste of spring we had last week.

I was doing a bit of half hearted sorting out when I came across some previously coloured up images I had forgotten about, so I decided to use some of them to make cards- much better than tidying up!

This sweet Mo Manning digi had been cut into a small rectangle so I looked for some ideas of how to use it, I found this lovely sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday -

I cropped the tulip from the image and pasted it x 3, coloured it with my markers and cut it into a small strip. the little bird on the other strip is a stamp and the smiley snail (looking forward to a feast of yummy tulips, no doubt) is hand drawn copied from a cartoon I found online.
I added 6 tiny flower brads and stamped the sentiment.

Thanks for visiting, hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend
Chris

  17. The combination of the tulip border and the adorable Mo Manning digi creates such a cheerful and vibrant springtime card. The added details like the hand-drawn snail and stamped sentiment bring so much personality and charm to the design.
