Spring Flowers

 
Wishful thinking about spring flowers. :)  I stamped the lovely Flourishes Sweet Violet set and colored the flowers and leaves using the watercolor markers. The sentiment is from Verses - QQ0830-D - Spring.
The challenge for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge is to use pearls. The City Crafters Challenge is to Stamp It. The design is courtesy of Card Patterns Sketch # 96.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Sue, I LOVE your idea of encircling the beautiful violet image in more leaves! An idea I'll be borrowing for sure!

    Very creative! Love how you used the leaves around the focal image. I was just looking at this set and trying to decide if I wanted to use it or not. :)

    This is lovely Sue and certainly makes me long for Spring. I've decided I definitely don't like Winter!

    Love the vibrant colours you have used, they are so fresh and the butterfly is really delicate.

    Hope your Christmas was wonderful Sue,

    Hugs
