Hi Precious Peeps! I am having a blast colouring up my new images, and this one was particularly fun to colour with all the fresh spring colours. We don't see any blooms yet where we live, but we will very soon, as the last of our snow is melting away!
I drew this carousel horse for Whimsy Stamps to celebrate spring, and so I named her, "Spring Stepping". She comes in a set, complete with a matching accessory image of new spring leaves, and a couple of cute little sayings. I have used the entire set on this card.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Ooh La La Creations Challenge Blog - #49 Anything Goes
Stampin B's - Challenge #49 Spring or Easter
Moxie Fab World - they have a photo for you to be inspired by and my lovely friend Carolyn King chose it! Hi Carolyn! Waving!! xx
Paper Sundaes - A multi-fold Spring or Easter card
Cute Daisy May Challenge - Anything Goes
Here you can see the extra fold I gave it, with the little card on the front of the main card. The little loops of the bow keep this part closed:

I don't usually go all out on the inside of a card, but this one is for someone really special and I wanted to take the extra care and time to do it up right!
