I am longing for spring, I tell you... here we are having the coldest days this winter!!! Since last Saturday, we are having max of -15°C and in the nights -22°C... that's cold, I know...
For that I am doing cards with flowers, to see some signs of spring:
I don´t remember how I've got this image, but I am sure it was a freebie or a prize :) {if you know where is it from, please, let me know to give the credit to the artist} I colored it with Koh.i.noor aquarelable pencils. I placed it on a white/purple double mat cut with oval die (Sizzix).
I used Alt paper from the glittered Butterfly collection, but I see thet the glitter shows black in the pics and not glittery. I also used lilac cardstock and Dot embossing folder (Sizzix). I used two ribbons to make the pennats on the left corner and a few rhinestones in the other corner.

Hi, kReN!
DeleteTo add the note, go to your design, add gadget, text, write what you need and then when it's finished, you move the gadget to the center column, being sure is on top of your entry.
Hope this can help you :)
