Spring is on it's way!

We started the day with snow today but we have also had sunshine, which definitely lifts my spirits, it is also waking up the plants!
I made a journal page which started with a Distress Oxide background using Spring colours. I stamped one of my favourite background stamps from Crafty Individuals randomly over the page too.

A little bit of masking and bending of stamps on my acrylic block were needed to group the flowers,some of Jo Firth Young's Paper Artsy set (JOFY25) which were coloured using Paper Artsy Fresco paints.
I stamped and coloured the grass from the flower set and added some more stalks.
My favourite March hare by Tracy Easson came bouncing along too - he was stamped onto paper(then Fussy cut) and onto the page. I coloured him with Crayola Twistables - brown and purple.

Finally I added the sentiment from JOFY54 and inked around the edge of my page with some blue remaining on my sponge! I forgot to wait until the ink dried and had to overwrite the smudged bit!!

I am joining Rosie with her Spring theme at Art Journal Journey 
and 
Penny Black and More for the Feature a Creature challenge this month


Apologies for my lack of visits to some of you. I am working on catching up, but our car has a problem that can't be fixed until next week and we seem to be having a run of meetings and appointments(including a recall due to a patient mix up!!)We are having to either get there by foot or catching public transport - neither of which are a problem, it just takes longer!!!

Thanks for looking

Chris
