Another clean and simple card. I struggle with anything to do with watercolors. I keep trying though and guess that's half the battle.
This is one of those cards where I look at it and then think "I should have done this, I should have done that". I do that with just about every card I make though so guess it's ok. This is a celebration of springtime weather and that's always good no matter what I should have/could have done.
Stamp from Art Impressions, patterned paper and oval die from My Favorite Things, and birthday sentiment (on Vellum) from Simon Says Stamp.
I'll enter this in the Art Impressions Challenge - Spring-y cards
Thanks for stopping by...............

If that is not a winner, I don't know what is! I can smell the flowers! Let's not even forget that gorgeous plaid... I am swooning.
Beautiful! Lovely colors!!!
This is perfect just as is! I love all the cascading florals around the cute little birdhouse, and that plaid paper is perfect! Love that vellum sentiment too - I must give that a try one day! They say spring's coming, but it hasn't showed up here in PA since Feb! LOL
This is wonderful Lynn. Your watercolouring is fabulous! I love the image and beautiful paper.

I love how your colors on your image match the paper, which I am in love with by the way. lol This doesn't look simple to me either, looks like you worked long and hard on it!

You may have stuggled, but you succeeded in the end! This is beautiful and inspires me to get out my AI stamps and ink them up. They've been in the NBUS box way too long!
