It seems that winter doesn’t want to go away for now…. but it will and spring will follow. I can’t wait for Spring to really arrive. It is one of my favourite seasons as it signifies new beginnings — grass starts to grow, leaves sprout on the trees, flowers start to bloom, and mother nature with baby bunnies, birds and other wildlife. It is an uplifting time of the year for me.
For today’s card, I have used the High Hopes Stamps called Garden Gate Background, Landing Birdie and Spring Follows. The Garden Gate Background and Landing Birdie were coloured with Copic Markers. I fuzzy cut the Landing Birdie (I definitely need to get a Brother Scan & Cut). My original intention was to put Birdie on a wobble, but even the mini wobble was too big. I added a layer of glue dots to build it up a bit, so it gives the appearance that he is not flat against the gate.
