Spring's Arrival

I have Spring on the brain....want it...need it!  We still have snow where I live and very cold temps.  This feels like the longest winter ever.  
I was so happy to be inspired this am by the challenge at Splitcoast and the photo below from the blog called Damask Love.  Such a great blog to be inspired by.  Love Amber's photos.  

I just bought the Spring Garden set from Stampin Up and wanted to play with it.  I inked my tulips....love tulips, such a majestic flower.....by colouring them with Mememto markers and sprayed with water before stamping for a watercoloured effect.  I added some paint splatters in the background for interest too.  The panel is pop dot mounted onto the card front about the sentiment. 
 I think this will make a great Easter card.

Adding my card to these challenges:
Simply Create Too- #58 EASTER
Addicted to Stamps- #88 HOLIDAY
A Creative Romance- SPRING FLOWERS
Stampin for the Weekend- SPRING COLOURS
Totally Paper Crafts- #212 THINK PINK

Sending BLESSINGS your way.  Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Supplies:  stamps- SU, Studio G (Michaels)/ Mememto markers/ mini mister/ toothbrush for splatters/ pop dots

    We still have plenty of snow here too, Karen but I have seen two cardinals and a chickadee so spring can't be too far away. Your tulips are so soft and pretty. I love your water spritzed flowers they always look stunning.

    I love the splatters on this card. I am splatter-impaired but I do so love the look. I adore these spring tulips. You do this set such justice.
