Spring is coming at Craft a scene

Hello lovelies - how are you today? I hope you are well. If not here's a hug! We've got a busy day today - its our guiding thinking day celebration - so I'll almost have finished by the time this post goes live - church this morning followed by games, lunch and activities. With around a total of 30 rainbows, brownies and guides. Should be fun.

Today is the start of a new challenge at Craft a Scene. The theme is all about Spring and what it means to you. Please join in and if you do remember its all about using more than one stamp to create a scene.  Spring to me means being outdoors. And thinking about getting busy in the garden. I've made a birthday card for my dad who will be 80 in May - he loves his garden although increasingly finds it difficult. That doesn't stop the love though does it?



I really enjoyed making this one - it was such fun.The stamps are all sheena douglass designs from when she was at Creative Expressions. I had lots of fun masking the trees and building up the scene. I used a clarity mask to create the clouds too. 

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Totally Gorjusstotallygorjuss: Happy Birthday
Allsorts CBallsortschallenge: Spring is coming
Fantasy stampersfantasystampers: Spring colours
Crafts Galorecardsgalorechallenges: Use a stamp

Thanks for dropping by today - will be catching up with your blogs later! Big Hugs to you!
