SPRING IS ON HER WAY!

The image featured on my Spring themed card is from The Paper Shelter store,  called Mucha Influence - Spring, and is coloured with alcohol markers, a white gel pen and Stickles.

As embellishments, I used sewn on sequins and beads, and punched flowers, colours with alcohol markers.  I also used lovely bright pink satin ribbon, blue cs mat, and a pink cs mat.

The sentiment is a quote by Bern Williams :

 "The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day He created Spring."

Thanks for visiting my blog today - I hope you'll visit  The Paper Shelter store to see all the beautiful digi images available.
