I must thank this lovely bouquet at The Card Concept, as it surely makes me smile:
I've used Distress Inks for water-coloring, several sprinkles in the way of sequins, and a sentiment from the March SSS card kit - if you haven't seen it, please take a peek - gorgeous collection of yellows and greys! [Which you may see soon - hint, hint =]
Daisies, and Dahlias, and Mums - oh my! This time, I added a bit of grey to the background to convey how flowers could make anyone forget about grey skies, or Winter!
What makes you "think Spring?"
Thanks for stopping by! =]

Michelle, I love your vibrant colors against the gray. Well done!
Beautiful bouquet Michele! Love the grey background and the rich and vibrant colours in the blooms! I may have to get this floral set after all... Love your sentiment!
I know it's Spring here in Austin when the Texas Mountain Laurel blooms. Mine are threatening to burst in a day or two BUT, we are supposed to have our temps go from 70 to 30 in the next 7 or 8 hours! Anywhoo...when they do bloom, it smells like grape Kool Aid. The next bloomer will be the Wisteria. They have a delicate fragrance unique to them too.
You said it girl...41 yesterday and 14 tomorrow...enough already!!! Your card is a welcome breath of fresh spring air, so needed on this gray day!! Love it ;)
