Is spring finally around the corner?

I really hope so, things are getting a little tough here on the farm, food is getting very scarce.  Can't grumble too much, at least it's dry and the sun has his hat on.

This card is spring like and I love the stamp, it's big and cute!  I coloured her in with distress inks and loved getting back into 'painting'.

Stamp: Sugar Nellie candy heart
Paper: First Edition Paper desert blooms
Ink: Archival Ink jet black
Accessories:  Distress inks, Die-namics photo corners, die cut embossing stencil, lace, Prima flowers assorted pearls and gems.

Challenges:
C.R.A.F.T. - mother's day
