Springtime Moments


Happy TGIF! Uuuhh...I am way later with my posting today as I had planned. My washer broke down this morning and left me with  huge pile of dripping wet and still dirty laundry...yikes! So I spent my morning doing some research on washers and getting rid of my old one. Then I went and bought me a high efficiency washer. So far ...very good and I am happy with it! Already did two loads :-)

Ok and here's my card for today:

'Rainy Day Duckling' is this adorable image called from Whimsy's latest release and it's available HERE. This time I colored with Prisma pencils and OMS. Unfortunately I used the wrong paper and coloring was not as nice and easy. I could not built up the color as I wanted to.  That's also wgy the colors are not that intense. This paper was way to smooth, almost wax like. And instead of building up color it smeared. For this technique I like it if the paper has a little bit of grip. The sentiment is from the 'Spring Letter Seals' and you'll find it HERE

I'll added Stardust Stickles to the image for some sparkle.

Papers are from 'Black Market Paper Society' and the die cut doily circle is I think a Marianne Design die.

Enjoy all your weekend and have a fab time!
Hope to see you back here on Sunday for
our newest LHO challenge!

Hugs,
