Once
again the snow has melted – well most of it. Where it was piled up from being shovelled
or plowed there is still a bit but mostly gone. My snowdrops and crocus have
been blooming for a couple of weeks but then they got hit with freezing rain
and then about a foot of snow so I figured that was the end of them. I went out
and checked this afternoon and lo and behold, there they were – all blooming
like nothing ever happened. Here’s one little group of crocus.
More
unseasonably warm temperatures predicted again tomorrow but rain for a few days
after that. We certainly enjoyed a nice long walk this morning.
Today’s
card is the second one I made with my new Penny Black stamp.
As
you can see I decided to stamp that extra flower that I cut off the right side
into the middle. Why?....because I’m a rebel that’s why! I just like to do
things a little different than everyone else.
These were once again coloured with water colour pencils and then
blended with water. Then the background was painted with actual water colour
paint – I like the different values of colour for the sky that way….and I splattered paint
on again. I didn’t have any light purple Stickles – I know, it surprised me
too! – but I had glitter in the right colour so I added glitter to the flowers…..and
then glued on some sequins. This time I just added a purple bow and faux bow.
The brads keep it from curling and they look nice too.
That’s
all for a lovely spring day – in March!
Cheers
Violet
