Passion for Markers - Anything Spring...

 Good morning, crafty friends! It would seem that Spring has arrived in our little corner of the world and it's forecast fine and sunny for the week ahead...yay! 

The lovely Julie has a topical theme this week over at Passion for Markers, choosing 'Anything Spring'...so it could be cute baby animals (there are lots of new lambs in the fields surrounding us), flowers, chicks, Easter or simply sitting in the garden drinking a cup of tea! (One of my favourite pastimes when the weather is like this!)...

We're being sponsored by Pattie's Creations who are offering one lucky winner a choice of 3 digital images from their online store...

We were lucky enough to get to choose an image to play with and I picked out the pretty Magnolia Branch, as it is one of the first flowers of Spring in my garden!

I kept my card clean and simple, allowing the image to be the star of the show! I coloured the flower up with my Pro/Flexmarkers and then fussy cut the lower edge, leaving a white border. I contrasted the pale pink flower with a strong, navy blue colour stamped with a sentiment from Altenew's Beautiful Day stamp set and mat onto the same pink tone. A couple of fishtail flags and some pink gems finished everything off...

I hope you can find the time to play along with our Spring challenge this week and look forward to hopping over to your blogs to see what you've created!

Crafty hugs,
