SPRING BOUQUET

Winter in Wisconsin. It's such a lengthy process. White, gray. cold, ice, snow, wind, empty trees, short days, and when the sun does make an appearance, it is blinding to drive in. 

One of my Facebook friends has been counting down the days until spring. It's still in the 40s.

I'm ready for a spring bouquet. How about you?

The other day, I didn't have anything pressing to get done. So I opted for one of my favorite -- and most challenging at times! -- things to do. I randomly reached into all the Project Life cards I have accumulated and plucked out a piece of kraft cardstock with a simple white scribbled circle in the center. 

The scribbled oval in the center was the perfect size to hold this precious flower stamp from a long ago retired Stampin' Up! set. 

 Using my Prismacolor Pencils, I happily went to work. Colored pencil over Kraft cardstock is wonderful in its looks. Have you ever tried it?

After I had finished with my card, the focal point looked like it needed a little something else. So, with my white gel pen, I added the six dots. 

Longing for Spring
