House Mouse Challenge #34 Springtime

This weeks challenge over at the House Mouse and Friends blog the challenge was to make a card that reminds you of spring. I chose this adorable image because both my children were born in the spring, one in March and one in April. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and blended with baby oil. That oh so yummy paper is from Basic Grey Sugared collection. Yea me for actually using a piece of it! You can find it here on the MDC store. The sentiment is from PTI and I layered my two favorite Nesties, Label 1 and Label 4. Added some stitching, inking and paper piercing and one of my blooms that you can find at Paper Blooms. The flourish was cut with my Cricut using the Storybook cartridge. I hope your day was spring like! Thanks for visiting and leaving me your comments:)
