Spring - Is It Just Around The Corner?

NO!  "Don't be silly" I can hear you say.

Following on the success of Zoe's challenge last week on JFF which was Winter, she has now decided to take us to another Season - namely Spring.  Every time I hear that word my mind goes to a cute little stamp I have of a chicken popping out of a plant pot saying "is it Spring yet?"  But, we all know "we don't do cute on here" so I had to think of something else and put my little chicken firmly back in his box.

Right, Spring.  Apart from the boing, boing springs (as in your bed or settee or even Zebedee from The Magic Roundabout) ) it makes me think of rebirth, leaves starting to sprout on the trees, flowers pushing their way up to greet the early sunshine.  Crocus, Daffodils, all those early flowers that make us look eagerly towards the better weather that heralds the fact that summer is on its way.  (That is, of course, unless you live in England where the summers are often wet, and sunny days are few and far between.)

But let's not dwell on that - let's fill our minds with all the lovely colours of Spring, enjoy the early morning light streaming through our windows, the pale sunshine that makes you want to get up and create.  Let's all think of that and enter JFF's Challenge with renewed gusto at the chance to do something other than the "C" cards we have all been so diligently creating.  Here's my attempt:

Daffodils, the flowers that always remind me of my mum, stamped and coloured in with my Twinkling H2o's and masked, then a couple of Distress Inks used for the background to add colour.  A tiny bow from string that is the same colour as the background has been added to the sentiment "For You".

Looking forward to seeing what you make for Spring.
