Spring, anyone?

I'm on a Spring card kick, and finished this one up over the weekend (this was one of the images I watercolored in January when we were at the hotel)... this image (from Heartfelt Creations) is colored with Touch Twin markers and shaded by watercoloring with Derwent WC pencils. I cut along a few of the leaves, petals, and the bunny's ear and embossed with a large ball stylus from the back side to add dimension. The sentiment is from Heart & Soul Rubber Stamp Co. My color inspiration for the card base came from the inspiration photo over at Flourishes, so I'm linking up over there too! There is a teeny bit of Polar White Flower Soft on the bunny's tail that reminds me of the snow in the picture too....! Daring Cardmakers' challenge has to do with violets, so I'm linking there as well.

A different angle so you can see the dimension on those leaves! So much fun to do. Have a great week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
