Just Because

Hiya peeps!  It's Thursday and that means we have a new challenge for you over on the Meljen's Designs Challenge and Inspiration Blog.  Please make sure you stop by and check out all the beautiful projects created by the Design Team.  I hope you find some time to play along with us in the challenge this week. 

I used Bird's Spring Trinkets on my card today.  I just love this cute bird with his "SPRING" banner.  After all the freezing temperatures and snow we've had lately, this little birdy was the perfect reminder that this nasty weather is only temporary lol!  I used colored pencils and gamsol on my image and added some Glossy Accents to his beak and boots.  I added flowers and a bow and decorated those with some buttons.

Here's the entire collection of Melissa's newest release.  Don't you just love these images?  You can find all of the Meljen's Designs images over at Whimsy Stamps. 

Thanks for stopping by today.
