Swing into spring

Hey, hey! How are you doing? Enjoying the weekend? I am. :) We're slowly getting back to spring. After the snow the other day the weather seems to be getting back to normal. It's still not the right time to have picnics outside, but hopefully it soon will be.

At The Greeting Farm blog we have a bew challenge for you and this time we would like to see your spring creations. Whatever you can associate with spring will work, but don't forget to use TGF stamp on your creation.

When I think of spring I think of flowers, butterflies, green and pretty pastel colours, so with all that in mind I made the following card.

I just recently got this Mermaid Anya stamp and couldn't wait to ink it up. She's such a cutie, isn't she? For the first time ever I was brave enough to try colouring hair in anything else than brown, black or blonde. And to be honest I really like how that turned out. Hopefully from now on I'll be brave enough to do this more often. 

I coloured the image with Promarkers and Faber Castell and Giotto pencils. The pearls in mermaid's hair were done with liquid pearls and on the tail I also used diamond stickles. You know me - I love me some sparkle. ;)

Papers are from my stash and so are the other embellishments. The butterflies and white flowers were made with mod podge silicone molds.

I hope you will come play with us this month. I can't wait to see what you'll make. :)

Have a great day!

Hugs! xx
