Spring is here!

OK - that is technically correct but the chill wind and snow on the ground tell a different story. But never mind - if you cant work in the garden just yet it gives you time to create wonderful cards in the warm studio! Papaya Collage is the stampset I am using a lot at the moment and here is my latest creation.
I pretty much followed an idea from the lovely Stampin' Up! Ideas book and catalogue (Wow - I love the ideas that they put in there). The card is for a couple who are getting married next week. When the bride and groom are - shall we say - older and have been living togther for some time it seems a bit daft (to me) to go all white dresses for a card so I thought this would be a refreshing change on their matrimonial mantlepiece! You maybe cant see it well in this photo but I spritzed the embossed, scrunched and daubed green card to give it a bit of bling (I'm not totally unromantic!) I double layered the bitty banner sentiment and used pencils to give the roses a subtle colour. The bird was coloured using Stampin pens and i was very pleased with the way it blended. What do you think?
Some of the ladies at one of my regular classes have asked that I do a stamping techniques class and i am thinking that this stampset might be an ideal one to bundle up for that class. Watch this space for details.
Must dash now but keep yourselves warm and safe and I will post another design just as soon as I can
