Spring Has Sprung (almost)


 I recently unearthed a little pack of Penny Black stamped images I've had for a long time so I decided it was time to make cards with them. This cow image is too much fun and I added a SNSS sentiment that works perfectly for the cow springing into the air LOL I stenciled a little blue sky in and added some pale green grass with a Copic marker. I added a stamped butterfly and tiny bee image from SNSS just for fun. The sentiment panel was a snippet of watercolored paper that was leftover from a previous project and I added another flower and another little bee to it just for fun. It's all on a spring green card base. Spring is almost here where I live, but we're not quite there yet. It's just around the corner though hopefully. I'm really weary from all the rainy days we've had since the beginning of the year.

Sharing this with the following challenges:

The Double D Challenge - first signs of spring


the Penny Black Saturday March Challenge - use a PB image/sentiment - A/G
optional "Easter"


optional "Easter / Spring theme"

Thanks for taking the time to visit and I wish you all the best possible day!

  1. That cow has to be the happiest one ever! I think spring is almost here, too, but have to remind myself that we are still in winter. I agree on all the rain we've had but it's so much better than snow, right? My spring flowers are popping up so spring has to be here soon! Super fun card and great springy colors! TFS and have a great day, Carol! :)

  5. Yes, that cow jumping over the frog is too cute and funny! Fabulous coloring and scene with your card here and I sure feel the Spring coming too! Our flowers are starting to come up, but hopefully we won't get anything too cold to kill or stunt them. Have a great day!

  7. Such a lucky discovery Carol, this cow is SO fun and cute! Love the design too, with that watercoloured stripe for the sentiment!
    I used a translator to understand the meaning of springing as you said it, and I had to smile again, love the pun, it's just perfect for this jumping cow! :D
    I can see that there is a post also on yesterday, I don't know why I lost it!! Go to watch and read it!
    In the meantime, I wish you fabulous Spring days ahead! Today here there is finally the sun, hooray! LOL :D
    Hugs and love

  10. Such fun Carol and a definite hint of Spring.

    PB's were my first love many, many years ago, sadly neglected since I ceased running their challenge after ten years. But I've been putting my enforced crafting inactivity to good use and last week emptied all the PB drawers, re-filed and even ordered a few new ones (which are now mega expensive in the UK).

  11. So cute and a fun card that makes me smile. My favorite part is the watercolor strip that you added the flower and teeny bee to along with the sentiment.
