It has been a really miserable rainy day here. So I used that excuse to play! Its my twins fifteenth birthday on Tuesday and although I have some cards made it is better if they are similar to stop any arguments. When I saw the challenge at Lili's Little Fairies it gave me an excuse to make a card similar to the one I made the other day. (I apologize for the photo the light is really bad)

Ingredients:

papers - first edition 'summer breeze'

stamp - lotv 'dandelion clock'

martha stewart punch - doilly lace

ribbon and pearls from stash

stickles - 'icicle' added to wings

coloured with promarkers

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

Lili's Little Fairies - peaches and cream

Flutterby Wednesday#192 - open

Penny Black and More at Allsorts - springtime

Spring Crocus

The weather has inspired me to make a spring card. I decided to use a house mouse stamp that I bought at Ali Pally last year and hadn't inked it was really easy to colour and is soo cute!
