A Spring Themed Card

I adore Spring: the air is different, the sun starts to shine a bit more, there's warmth in the sun, new shoots start to show through and bulbs burst into colour!  And these papers really remind me of those things.  And I can imagine this girl sitting in the sunshine with a wee cup of coffee hiding behind the tree stump!

I've used Sugar Nellie's Peek-a-Bunny, coloured with Promarkers and with a paper-pieced pinny.  I think I might use this for my mam's Mother's Day card as she would love these cheery papers and image too.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:
Sugar Bowl - Sketch
My Time to Craft - Ladies Day
Papertake Weekly - It's a Mom Thing
The Creative Cottage - Spring Has Sprung
Passion for Promarkers - In the Garden
Crafts and Me - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp - Mother's Day / Girlie

Wow, it's been ages since I've entered so many challenges......fingers crossed....!
