Spring is in the air

Well it is if you ignore the chill wind and stand in the sunshine!!!
 
 But I must not complain, the daffodils and tulips are blooming and our garden is beginning to green up nicely so I guess that means our little amphibian friends will start appearing soon.
 
 
Supplies
Toadily by Penny Black
Acrylic Artist Trading Card - Daler Rowney
DP - Summer Bloom by Papermania
Loopy Rings die by Memory Box
Ribbon from stash
Copics 
This card actually started out as an experiment to see if I could use Copics on paper meant for acrylic paint.
It does have an interesting texture and yes it does present a challenge when blending but overall I have to say it works quite well.

What would we do without great designers like Penny Black(that may be a group?) Mo Manning and our dear Dustin Pike. You make their ideas come to life in such spectacular fashion.
