The cold winter months are (mostly) over and we are switching seasons at the Four Seasons challenge blog. It's time for all things Spring!! As always we have a fabulous mood board to inspire you but it is optional to use as Anything Spring Goes.
March Mood Board:
And here is what I made:
I first colored with Copic markers then decided to add some shading using a colored pencil. That turned into me using even more colored pencils and took quite some time to finish too and I could have easily spent at least another hour adding more pencil coloring but it was getting late and I was getting tired. I really love the look of pencils over copics but it can be so time consuming!

Around the bottom part of the image I used my most used stencil Feather Leaf by Lavinia. I cut the image panel out using an old die from Sizzix, framed with some dotted patterned paper and then mounted this onto green SU cardstock. The sentiment is part of a retired SU set and I used a retired Whimsy Stamps label die to cut it out but I trimmed the die cut on top and bottom to make it fit into that space. Jute twine is by May Arts. Butterflies die cuts are by Penny Black. It's hard to see but I added Stickles glitter to all the flower centers.

This is adorable Ellie, beautiful image, fantastic colouring and I love the layout and little extra touches such as the butterflies xx
I love everything about this adorably cute card Ellie, your coloring of the cute image is fabulous, great design too! Happy 'almost' Spring, it will be here soon!!
Your card beautifully captures the essence of spring! The vibrant colors and intricate details are stunning. The blend of Copic markers with colored pencils adds depth and texture, making the image pop. The finishing touches, including the twine and butterfly die cuts, perfectly complement the overall design. Such a delightful creation!

What a darling little bird - the coloring is beautiful! I really like how you have added the sentiment as well. Thank you for sharing your project with us at the Crafts Galore Encore “Anything Goes” Challenge. Good luck and we hope to see you again soon!
What a cute image! And I like the stenciled area in green to make some form of grass and thus reducing the whiteness.
Those polka dots and that little chick all add up to one cute card! Thanks for playing along with us at Just us Girls!
