Spring Time @ LCI

Good morning lovely people, I hope it's a glorious spring day where you are, it's currently a dark cold February night here as I'm super organised and scheduling!

It is time for a new challenge over at

LADYBUGS CRAFT INK

and this week the very lovely Susan is hostess
and she has chosen

Spring

I've used an image from last years Floral Delights release
that I didn't find time to play with until now, I'm not too sure its 'Spring' like but you decide!

I had a lot of fun colouring in that fabulous bench - it took me nearly all night! The image is called Garden Bench Delight and is available HERE. That fabulous ribbon is also available on the LCI website, Kerry sent me a sample a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to use it as my 'Spring Greens'
The 'YOU' is a Cheery Lynn die cut - I love it!

Pop along to the main challenge blog for all the details of this weeks challenge and some amazing inspiration from the Ladybugs

Thank you for stopping by, I hope to catch you later!

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

Brilliant card Laurie, love the lush bow and your colouring is superb. I have this image and as I can't paper the bench my poor try at colouring it the card went in the bin and I have not attempted to use it since.
