A little bit of Spring


At last we have some sunshine and Spring is in the air. I just had to make a card to reflect the spring flowers and blossoms. This cute little image by Penny Black reminds me of my little granddaughter on her bicycle on a spring day.
The papers and large flower are from Papermania Happy days collection. As the flower papers are quite bold,  I only used small amounts. A few buttons and my Pro marker colour coordinated image finished it off. I love the freshness of it.
I new there were several "Spring" themed challenges running so I made this card in the hope that it would it would fit into some of those which are listed below.
